A Full-Service, Multifunctional Arts Center
 Since
its opening in April, 1992, the Anderson Arts Center has welcomed
thousands of visitors. The 9,000 square foot mansion that houses
the Arts Center began life as a private residence, a fact that still
fascinates new visitors to the facility. The majestic ceilings and
large, open expanses of wall space, which were distinctive features
of the mansion, now lend themselves perfectly to the display of
art work.
In its history, the Anderson Arts Center has evolved into a full-service,
multifunctional arts center, showcasing the work of a variety of
local, regional and national artists. The center offers six to seven
major art exhibitions a year. One aspect of this evolutionary process
has been the ever-growing commitment to the artistic nurturing of
the area's youngest artists. Almost since its inception, the entire
West Wing of the Anderson Arts Center has been devoted to the display
of art work done by students attending area schools. Every August,
children can attend Summer Art Camps sponsored by the Arts Center.
A full slate of art classes and activities are held in Kid's Space,
located in a renovated area of the Anderson Art Center Annex.
