ART&

ART& is a vibrant community and program space at the Ackland. This flexible space transforms to accommodate art making, film screenings, concerts, and more during our public programs and private events . It’s also an area to relax during your visit, continue discussions with friends, or meet with a group. In addition to serving as the Museum’s gathering space, it is also home to rotating contemporary site-specific commissions. Click here to see what’s on view in ART& right now!
