We are dedicated to providing opportunities for cultural enrichment, educational ventures and personal growth for the citizens of Ashland and Hanover County.

Built in 1859 as Ashland Baptist Church, the building served as a hospital during the Civil War, and became the Arts and Activities Center in 1967.
