This is a tucked away treasure. Real close to the highway and Nsb airport. Their Gallery is big & amazing. They also have a small gift shop. Very welcoming reception. Has a history section about the whole center, the original buildings are still there. They are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year! Would highly recommend to any local or tourist. You wont regret driving over.
Beautiful art space in the wilderness but it can be difficult to find! I have used the black box theatre several times. It is a GREAT space but parking is always an issue for patrons. Because there is no parking lot, just a honeycomb of parking spaces among palms and ferns along a gravel trail ( that fills up with water in the afternoon Florida rain) I cannot give this a five star rating.
Very zen from the moment you step out of your car. Amazing talent is here doing workshops and is open to the public usually on Thursday nights to view performances of all genres. I got to see Joy Harbo, the United States Poet laureate perform.
Beautifully an amazing place
Amazing campus to host an event
Had a great time and good food at there annual fundraiser.
Fabulous facility where I attended the Florida Surf Film Festival.If you like surf film, attend this event.
OH MY GOODNESS!! It is beautiful, has a beautiful indoor area and outdoor area. The lights at night are so beautiful and it has historical information about the animals that you may see around.
I recently stayed here for a weeklong conference through another outside arts organization and have already made mental plans to find a way back for art practice someday. This is a beautiful and serene space tucked gently into its surroundings. An artist nest that boasts state of the art, well-designed, and thoughtful buildings made for artists to grow. They also rent space for weddings, conferences, and retreats. Worth a visit even if you arent into the arts, this space and its design structures are awe inspiring.
It is an absolutely beautiful venue. The property is amazing and the staff was enthusiastic. I have been trying to find a great space to enjoy the arts and it simply landed in my lap. Thank you ACA you will be seeing myself and renegade silver again soon.
Great venue hidden in the back roads of New Smyrna Beach. You will find a performing arts center with theaters, art installations, galleries, and an artist colony. The architecture is modern and blends in with the natural setting. You should check out the community online to plan a visit. Well worth the time.
What an amazing little hidden gem. Game here for a film festival and love coming just to view the exhibits.
Excellent service, great art space with comfortable accomodations and fantastic chef!
If youre going to be part of New Smyrna Beach please support the Arts. The Arts are a big part of what makes NSB a great place to live.
Beautiful place with the feel to make any memories happen.
An Amazing Place and absolutely a wonderful place for the Florida Surfing Film Festival...what a fantastic venue.
A wonderful place to learn about art. When I visited, the weather was warm and clear and they were preparing for a wedding later in the week. Most of the art was put away for that reason, but that didnt deter me from walking about the grounds. The architecture of the buildings is some to marvel at.If youre coming for a museum experience I think you might want to investigate a little bit more before journeying out there. It has museum components, but mostly caters itself towards being a place to learn, practice and promote art.
A neat place to stroll a bit. I wish more of the grounds were open to view, I wish you could see more of the artists work, I wish I could live here, sometimes. I wish I knew how to interact more with the property as a once a year or so drive-by attendee.We saw a big raccoon up in a tree and just stared at it while it contemplated us for a few minutes. The kids loved the art exhibit.
Nice venue but the hard plastic chairs were brutal on my back.
Great performance. So enjoyable.
Surprising appealing architecture in wooded spot. Amazing history. Friendly staff. Im interested to learn more n visit again.
A wonderful place for a workshop. Great food and nice accommodation
Good music and entertainment and it was free.
Unique place for artistic inspiration and community outreach programs
A beautiful place with a variety of art studios and spaces.
What a wonderful venue. If you have an hour to check it out it is very worth it!
Eclectic and natural atmosphere, essentially an artist compound that sponsors certain year round arts events. If there is an event or are interested in seeing amazing art it is definitely worth seeing
Not what I was expecting but still worth to check out
Good short films and nice place to visit.
Beautiful setting for students studying the arts.
This establishment is a gem. The opportunities, the support, the staff are all unbeatable. I have had the time of my life here
Spent a week there three times taking jewelry making classes. Lovely place. Food good.
UNIQUE and great place!
Interesting, exciting, artsy, evolving!
Cool place, great gallery and cool little board walk
Great place to have a gathering but rooms are very Spartan.
We attended a family wedding there recently. A beautiful unique venue.
A place where artists can congregate. A number of buildings that are focused on sculpture, painting, dance, etc. Its definitely off the beaten path.
Amazing hidden gem!
Great Food!
Beautiful grounds. Great staff.
