About Us

Arlington Center for the Arts (ACA) is a community arts center devoted to the mission of inspiring joy, nurturing growth, and building community through a dynamic mix of classes, camps, exhibits, and special events like Arlington Porchfest, Arlington Open Studios, and Jug Band Festival. ACA provides opportunities for people to discover and express their own creativity and to appreciate the expression of others.

ACA was established in 1988 by a visionary group of artists, writers, musicians and educators as a place where artists could share their work with the community through educational and outreach programs.

Today, ACA is a vibrant community arts center and a cornerstone for the creative community in Arlington. ACA offers opportunities for people of all ages to discover and express their own creativity and to appreciate the creativity of others.

If you're new to ACA, we hope you'll visit sometime soon - you'll find a vibrant community of artists, arts lovers, and arts advocates dedicated to keeping the arts alive and accessible in our community.?
