About the organization

Since 1982, Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) has hosted interdisciplinary residencies for some of the world’s most distinguished artists. The Master Artist Residency was the founding program at ACA and has served over 4,000 mid-career artists worldwide.  Our residency experience is unique, where prominent Master Artists mentor selected Associate Artists for three-weeks. Our residency is process-based, and not product-driven, time can be spent on existing projects, new experiments, and/or collaborations. The residencies create conversations and share ideas between disciplines, such as visual arts, writing, choreography, and music to name a few.

Located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, the 70-acre pine and palmetto-wooded environment contains architecturally award-winning studios and is four miles from the beach, just north of the Kennedy Space Center. The facility features administrative offices, a visitor center and gallery, six architecturally award-winning discipline-specific studios, three master artists cottages, 28 private associate rooms, and a dining hall.
