The cities in turn have an operating agreement with the College to manage and operate the facility. The Center is a place to present outstanding artists, produce worthy art, develop both local artists and their audiences and provide space for the presentation of artistic and cultural events by outside entities. It is also where the College's fine arts division is located.
