Adrian Center for the Arts

Written By Dena Koehn

The Adrian Center for the Arts is located on the PlaneWave Campus. Adrian Center for the Arts is a flourishing network of artists, offering opportunities to children, students, adults and professional artists to pursue art, a place for self-expression and development of craft, through classes, workshops and artist’s studio spaces. In a peaceful surrounding, the campus vibe is interconnected through a diverse collection of media separated by buildings but not by spirit. The ACA gallery includes a store space where ACA Members can sell their works. The gallery has rotating shows throughout the year, but the store is open year-round.
