ACCA believes in the power of contemporary art to inspire, challenge, and provoke conversations. By showcasing innovative and thought-provoking artworks, ACCA seeks to engage the community and provide a platform for artists to share their perspectives, ideas, and creative expressions. Through exhibitions, events, and programming, ACCA strives to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where artists and community members can interact, exchange ideas, and collaborate. The center aims to be a hub for artistic exploration, encouraging experimentation, and pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms.

ACCA values the diversity of artistic voices and seeks to support artists from all backgrounds. By providing opportunities for emerging and established artists to exhibit their work, ACCA aims to nurture creativity and contribute to the development of a vibrant contemporary art scene. Additionally, ACCA recognizes the importance of arts education and outreach. The center is dedicated to art appreciation, art-making skills, and critical thinking. By engaging with universities, community organizations, and individuals, ACCA aims to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation for contemporary art.

In summary, ACCA's mission is to serve as a catalyst for bringing artists and the community together through contemporary art. The center aims to provide a welcoming space for artistic exploration, foster dialogue, and contribute to the cultural enrichment of the community it serves.

We Are Proud to Be Considered a Safe Space

What is a Safe Space?

A safe space is a space where LGBTQI+ communities can freely express themselves without fear. It is a space that does not tolerate violence, bullying, or hate speech towards LGBTQI+ communities.

A safe space does not guarantee 100% safety, rather, it’s a space that has your back if an incident (violence, bullying, or hate speech) were to occur.

What is the Safe Space Alliance?

The Safe Space Alliance is a LGBTQI+ led nonprofit organisation that aims to help people identify, navigate, and create safe spaces for LGBTQI+ communities worldwide. Being part of the Safe Space Alliance is being part of a global and collaborative safe space community.
