Arlington Arts Center
The AAC was founded in 1976 and is housed in the historic Maury School. We are one of the largest venues for emerging and contemporary artists in the greater Washington DC area, and have taken a leadership role in supporing visual arts throughout the region. The AAC has become a launching pad for many emerging artistic careers and has become a significant contributor to the cultural life of the greater metropolitan area.
The Arlington Arts Center (AAC) is a private, nonprofit contemporary visual arts center dedicated to presenting and supporting new work of regional artists from the Mid-Atlantic States. Through exhibitions, educational programs, and subsidized studio spaces, the AAC serves as a bridge between artists and the public. The goal is to increase awareness, appreciation, perception, and involvement in the visual arts for the public in Arlington County, VA and the region.
