More Than a Gallery
Alloy 13 is a working collective of artists, makers, photographers, musicians and storytellers creating together in the heart of New Kensington.
We share space, exchange ideas and champion one another while creating opportunities for local art to be made, seen, experienced and taken home.

Made here
Rooted in New Kensington
Alloy 13 takes its name from aluminum’s symbol and atomic number: Al13. It is a nod to New Kensington’s deep connection to the early history of commercial aluminum production and to the post-industrial city we call home.
Today, we create and exhibit inside the former Alcoa Clubhouse, carrying a local tradition of experimentation into a new generation of artists, makers and storytellers.
