We’ve always dreamt of a beautiful, dedicated blank canvas of a room, designed for people to come and spend time together. Experience juried shows featuring creative work by local artists. Enjoy AMA traditions like Eat Your Art Out, Youth Art Month, and our Articulate Lecture Series. Gather for private events like business retreats, weddings, reunions, and much more.
By the end of March 2024, when the Arlington Museum of Art moves into its new home in the Arlington Entertainment District, this dream will become a reality as our new Community Gallery. The new Community Gallery will be approximately 5,000 square feet, which is essentially the same size as our current building in its entirety.

Outside the Lines: Reimage the 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 space inside the Arlington Expo Center. That’s eight times the size (and creative potential) of our current location! The new AMA footprint will allow us to blend traditional, immersive, interactive, and evolving visual art forms in ways that will inspire, entertain, engage, and reflect our community and our world.
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! Thanks to our partnership with the City of Arlington, we’re being built on a platform for success. Still, there are many exciting ways for individual donors and partners to become a part of the lasting legacy. Learn how you can get involved.
