art centers

Cultural exhibition spaces

Art centers are facilities dedicated to creating, displaying, or teaching visual and performing arts.

They range from community spaces offering classes and studio time to larger institutions housing galleries and performance venues.

An art center typically emphasizes public access and participation rather than commercial sales: The city's art center hosts free workshops on weekends.

Also spelled art centres in British English.
