THE CENTER FOR THE ARTS

The mission of the Center for the Arts is to enhance the quality of life in the community by providing cultural and economic enrichment through the arts. This non-profit 501 (c)3 presents accessible theatrical productions, visual art exhibitions, music concerts, dance performances and educational classes. The Center for the Arts is funded primarily through grants and donations from both individuals and organizations such as the Tennessee Arts Commission.

The Center for the Arts is housed in an Italianate structure built in 1909 by the U.S. Department of Treasury on the site of an old livery station. The building originally served as the Post Office and in 1962 became the Linebaugh Library. After the library relocated, the building was renovated and became the Center for the Arts. The renovation of the building was awarded the Governor’s Award for Economic and Community Development.
