The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas
Providing a Vibrant Array of Opportunities for Interactive Learning
ASC was founded in 1968, made
a commission of the City of
Pine Bluff in 1971, and accredited with the American Alliance of Museums in 2001. ASC presents programming in the visual arts, performing arts, and the sciences through exhibits, performances, classes, and local partnerships.
Educational programming occurs on and off site and area schools
are encouraged to visit for free exhibition tours and hands-on activities. Classes are offered for
children, youth, and adults with scholarships available. Gallery admission, hands-on programming, and school field trips are all free — thanks to sponsors, successful grant writing, and the generosity of the local community.
