Woodruff Arts Center, a multiuse art complex composed of the High Museum of Art, the Alliance Theater, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Midtown, the heart of Atlanta.
In 1905 an art school and museum, later to become Atlanta College of Art and High Museum of Art, were formed as an outgrowth of the Atlanta Art Association.
The art school was accredited in 1949 and incorporated into the Woodruff Arts Center in 1963.
The result of a merger of two long-standing galleries and studios, along with their associated memberships, Art Center Sarasota continues a tradition of art education and exhibits that has spanned more than 60 years.
Incorporated as the Sarasota Art Association in 1928, the Center itself was built after the war, a building typical of the then-popular Sarasota School of Architecture.
It is a member-supported, non-profit art association whose mission is to support visual arts by providing quality art education and focusing interest on the considerable quality of art done by local artists.
