At Arts on Centre, our mission is to champion artists, spark creative exploration, and make artistic opportunities accessible to all. We are committed to providing a supportive, artist-led space where creators from diverse backgrounds can exhibit their work, collaborate, and thrive—fostering a vibrant, inclusive arts community. Through exhibitions, demonstrations, workshops, and classes, we nurture emerging talent and encourage lifelong learning. By hosting community events and regular open house hours, we connect our neighborhood with local artists and make art approachable and available for all. As an all-inclusive nonprofit, we welcome artists from across the Commonwealth, supported by donations, memberships, and commissions. Our goal is to cultivate a dynamic, welcoming environment where art strengthens community and creativity flourishes.
