About
Sculptor and painter Doris Leeper founded the Atlantic Center for the Arts in 1977 as a place for working artists to create, and it still runs residencies today. The main campus emphasizes the link between art and the natural setting around it. Visitors can see exhibitions in the gallery, and the center hosts artist talks, performances, and community art classes throughout the year.
The main campus gallery is open Tuesday through Friday. For weekend browsing, head to Arts on Douglas at 123 Douglas Street downtown, which ACA also runs and which opens Saturdays. Watch the calendar for ACA Exposed, the annual open house, and IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts.
Good to know
Weekend option

Email first
Staff prefer email for questions, so use it for class or event details.
Open house
ACA Exposed, the yearly open house, is the best chance to see more of the residency campus.
