Founded in 1977 by Doris Leeper, an internationally known sculptor and painter, as well as a visionary environmentalist, Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) is a non-profit multidisciplinary artist residency facility and vibrant cultural hub with expanded community offerings such as Arts on Douglas and IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
“If you had a world with no music, no dance, no visual arts –
I don’t even want to try and think about how horrible that would be.”– Doris Leeper, ACA Founder
