Heaven on Earth for art-retreaters
We are blessed to have this beautiful arts center in our area! I wouldn't call it a tourist attraction, though, so if you are expecting galleries galore you might be disappointed. But my review is of the facility as a venue for art retreats, and it is definitely top-notch! Located in a beautiful wooded area, off the beaten path, quiet and serene, and the studio spaces are huge. The "cabins" are comfortable and well-appointed. I love this place, I have attended retreats there several times and always come away well-rested and inspired! But if you'd like to check it out, there is a small gallery area and I think you are allowed to walk the nature walks.

Great Summer Camp Field Trip for the kids to learn different Art forms!
We started out gathering in the Museum and then split our over 30 kids into 2 groups. Each group got to try their hand at Sketching and Watercolors in on of the art studios and then we got more of our wiggles out by trying some basic Taekwondo in one of the yoga studios. Regardless of the heat or rain we were able to do our activities and eat our picnic lunch in the Commons Bldg. Definitely a hidden gem for FL, definitely off the beaten path!! The Sculptures and Building Architecture are also pleasing to behold!

Impressive setting
The ACA campus offers a serene setting for collaboration of artists. This is a great location to offer artist-in-residence programs. Impressive architecture in a natural setting. They also offer quarterly surf film festivals.
