THOUGH OUR DOORS MAY BE CLOSED, THE ARTS WILL BRING US TOGETHER AGAIN, SOON.

It has been nearly two months since the Academy Center of the Arts closed our doors to the public in response to COVID-19. While this decision was not an easy one to make at the time, we did so knowing that the arts run deep through the veins of our City, and that when able, the arts would bring us all together again.

We’ll see you again, soon.
