Arlington Arts Center
WISH LIST: $100: purchases supplies for 1 8-week children's class; $500: subsidizes an artist residency for 1 month; $1000: buys enough paint to maintain all gallery walls for one year
The Arlington Arts Center's six main galleries are dedicated to group and solo shows of contemporary artists from the Mid-Atlantic region - and for many an AAC exhibition will serve as one of the earliest in their careers. An additional gallery provides community exhibition space, while another features work by resident artists. Traditional courses like Beginning Painting and Drawing are staples, and there are also classes for children (beginning at age 3!), bilingual classes for adults and children, and arts education programs for seniors that provide free workshops (including free art supplies) both on-site and at senior centers. The resident studio artist program provides access to some of the newest, subsidized studios in the region, with a common kitchen and shower, and - most importantly - a community of supportive peers. An "incubator" for new artists, the program affirms AAC's belief in cultivating and sustaining the artists themselves who are, of course, at the very heart of it all. A vibrant cultural life sustains a community; your philanthropy can bring the picture to life.
