HISTORY: The Alliance was founded in 1931 by 17 prominent Philadelphia artists.They were all Italian-American and decided to name the alliance after the consummate genius of the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci. The members’ meetings took place in their studios until the late 1960s, when the alliance acquired the building at 704 Catharine Street (diagonally across the street from Fleisher Art Memorial). Originally limited to artists of Italian extraction, the organization became completely integrated shortly after WWII and now welcomes all with an interest in the arts.
To further the appreciation and practice of the arts in the tri-state area.
