The Arlington Center for the Arts is a community art center devoted to the mission of transforming lives and building community through the arts. 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 through a dynamic mix of classes, workshops, exhibits, performances, and special events.

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