The Art Center

The Art Center, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, promotes community by serving as common ground where individuals of all backgrounds, ages and walks of life can meet, create, socialize and unite as arts participants. We are committed to enriching the lives of area residents and those living in the surrounding communities by providing an array of art experiences and culturally stimulating opportunities. Outreach is paramount in the planning and execution of our programming. Working with other nonprofits, cities and counties we ensure delivery of the arts to underserved audiences.
