Outside the Lines takes you inside the “new AMA,” which will open in March 2024 in the Arlington Expo Center. The new AMA footprint will be eight times larger than our current one, allowing us to blend traditional, immersive, interactive, and evolving art forms in ways that will inspire, entertain, engage, and reflect our community and our world.
NEVER STOP LEARNING
The Arlington Museum of Art was founded in 1952 by a group artists, teachers, and community leaders who believed that visual arts was an important value for their city. Today, the AMA seeks to inspire creativity and life-long learning through our long-running Summer Art Camp partnership with AISD and our monthly Art+Wine at the AMA DIY art series for adults.
When the AMA moves into its new home in March 2024, opportunities to experiment with art first hand will be expanded in our new state-of-the-arts Education Center. The Center will be equipped with today’s tools for creativity and education: great instruction by professional art instructors, flexible learning spaces, roll-up-your-sleeves experiences with many different art mediums, and opportunities to learn about emerging digital art forms.
Outside the Lines: Reimagining the Arlington Museum of Art
Our founders believed in art as a legacy gift to our community, and we’re so excited for all the ways the New AMA fulfills that vision! In our weekly series Outside the Lines, we take you inside Arlington’s new home for incredible world-class art exhibitions (including traditional, immersive and interactive art), more opportunities for community gatherings and local artists, and our plans to expand beloved traditions like Youth Art Month and Summer Art Camp. Learn how you can get involved.
Coming to the Arlington Entertainment District in March 2024: The New AMA
By unanimous vote of the Arlington City Council on April 11, 2023, the Arlington Museum of Art officially has a new home: the Arlington Entertainment District! By late March 2024, the New AMA will offer approximately 42,000 square feet of exhibition and programming space inside the Arlington Expo Center. That’s eight times the size (and creative potential) of its current location. The new AMA footprint will allow us to blend traditional, immersive, interactive, and evolving art forms in ways that will inspire, entertain, engage, and reflect our community and our world.
