ACAC is a Black owned and operated center of Black culture that grew out of a Black operated non-profit that seeks to elevate Black community members through Black cultural expression. It builds on the 40-year identity of this location as an African cultural resource and will provide opportunity for Black leadership development. Preservation and enhanced accessibility of African traditional cultures is the center's core mission.ACAC is intended to be a living archive of African and diaspora cultures. It is anticipated that gallery displays will rotate quarterly, with diverse live cultural programming occurring on an on-going basis. The community advisory board will assist with prioritizing cultural representation in the gallery space, the artist in residence program, and programming within the amphitheater (capacity 50) and atrium (capacity 25) spaces, so that it is reflective of the community and expands community cultural horizons. ACAC will be a free/affordable venue for local families, organizations and artists to hold intimate events with their constituencies.
