THE ART MARKET - We offer the only local gallery space dedicated to the display and sale of work by local and regional artists and craftspeople. The display changes frequently and showcases everything from pottery, jewelry, metal sculpture, glass, fiber arts, and woodworking to paintings and prints. All local artists from the surrounding area are welcome to apply for acceptance into the Art Market. The public is invited to view and purchase these fine works.

THE EXHIBITION GALLERIES - Two galleries are available for rotating art exhibits. Check our calendar for current and upcoming exhibits. You may see everything from local student art to traveling exhibitions curated by professionals in their field.

FESTIVALS: AACA staff members are usually involved in the planning of the various festivals held downtown and around town, along with members of the Downtown Business Association and other organizations, generally by coordinating the entertainment and crafts portion of these events. The Downtown Fiesta is held the first Saturday in May; Pumpkintown, a Festival of History, Harvest, and Heritage is mid-October; and Old-Fashioned Christmas on the Square is the weekend before Thanksgiving.

This is an opportunity for the public to visit local working art studios, meet and talk with the artists, and purchase their work.
