ACA is an Asheville-based arts and arts service organization, providing high quality, professional theatre, performance, and arts experiences to Asheville audiences of all ages, and offering fiscal sponsorship and related services to sibling social enterprises and arts nonprofits serving Asheville and Western North Carolina.
We create opportunities for meaningful employment for Asheville residents, provide access to professional development and resources that support the creative practice of artists, provide opportunities to create and share work with the public, and tools, and infrastructure that allow community leaders to do their best work in service of Asheville’s audiences and community members.
Asheville Creative Arts was founded to challenge young people to imagine new ways of being, and to practice seeing the humanity in one another. We believe that as artists and cultural workers, we have a responsibility to help represent a world where the experiences of BIPOC communities are seen and acknowledged, and audiences walk away with tools to dismantle white supremacy.
We continue to support one another and uplift the voices of the artists and arts administrators from communities of culture already part of the ACA family, and those who will join in the future. Our artistic and administrative work must model for the next generation how to build a better world.
