The Annapolis Region Community Arts Council (ARCAC) is a community organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting the arts. ARCAC was founded by a group of artists in 1982, they felt that if art was to survive as living cultural force, artists should take the first step toward demystifing the practice of art. Today we run a year round schedule of exhibitions, workshops and special events and through our Scholarship Fund, we assist students of all ages who wish to pursue art-related courses of study. ARTsPLACE Artist-run Centre exhibition schedule has been designed to reflect the role ARCAC plays as intermediary between the contemporary art world out there and the local community. ARTsPLACE is funded in-part by the Artist Run Centres (ARC) program of the Canada Council, the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage and by volunteer fundraising endeavours.

Arraymusic has evolved over a period of more than 40 years to become one of the principal contemporary music organizations in Canada. Array’s vision of contemporary music represents the tradition of western classical music as revolutionized during the 20th Century. Our music embraces the techniques, influences, technologies and innovations that have become tools for composers, and demonstrates a profound curiosity and bold sense of adventure. Core values focus on creativity and experimentation, multi-disciplinary exploration and the sharing, communication and outreach afforded by artistic exchange. We encourage risk-taking and recognize that both successful and less successful experimentation is valuable in the process of artistic growth. To this end, Array provides composers with an environment in which they are free to challenge themselves and push the boundaries of musical expression.
