Tracy Art Center

Tracy Art Center
The Tracy Art Center, founded in 1989 by Nancy Tracy, a notable local artist and art teacher, has continually and consistently supported the Connecticut shoreline arts community. To support its mission, the Tracy Art Center pursues a variety of avenues such as gallery showings, community events, artist seminars and extensive classes for artists of all levels, ages, interests and media. In 2004, the Tracy Art Center applied for and received federal non-profit status to ensure that it could perpetually contribute to the local arts community. With year-round classes for adults and children, over 75 members, gallery showings throughout the year and community events, its no wonder the Tracy Art Center has become the popular place to experience the arts across the Connecticut Shoreline. -
