The Annapolis Region Community Arts Council (ARCAC) is a community organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting the arts. ARCAC was founded by a group of artists in 1982, they felt that if art was to survive as living cultural force, artists should take the first step toward demystifing the practice of art. Today we run a year round schedule of exhibitions, workshops and special events and through our Scholarship Fund, we assist students of all ages who wish to pursue art-related courses of study. ARTsPLACE Artist-run Centre exhibition schedule has been designed to reflect the role ARCAC plays as intermediary between the contemporary art world out there and the local community. ARTsPLACE is funded in-part by the Artist Run Centres (ARC) program of the Canada Council, the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage and by volunteer fundraising endeavours.

The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia’s (LCNV) mission is to teach adults the basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English so they can access employment and educational opportunities and more fully and equitably participate in the community. Literacy is a survival skill. Most of our learners struggle to get by with little to no English-language skills and limited economic opportunities. The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia (LCNV) provides the crucial first steps of language and literacy learning for workplace, citizenship, and community integration to help adults make measurable improvements in their lives. Through LCNV, adults learn to speak, read, and write English, increasing their capacity to earn a living wage, care for their families, and become more active members of our community. Our classes are affordable, led by a highly trained instructional team, and utilize best practices to make a lasting difference in the lives of our learners and our communities. LCNV serves over 1,500 adults per year, who hail from 81 countries, speak 52 different languages, and support 1,615 dependent children. Classes are held in 14 locations around the region, partnering with organizations like DoubleTree by Hilton McLean Tysons, Centreville Immigration Forum, Korean Community Service Center, Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center, Alexandria City Public Schools, ThinkFoodGroup and many more. Our programs: -Beginning-level English Classes to teach the foundation skills adult English language learners (ELLs) need to learn to speak, understand, read, and write English. -Family Learning Program Classes provide English language instruction classes for parents or caregivers, while their children participate in reading and writing activities and receive guidance with their homework. -Destination Workforce® delivers career-specific language and literacy training to immigrants at the lowest literacy levels in Northern Virginia. The program teaches adults basic skills in language and literacy to improve their employability and empower them to participate more fully and confidently in the workplace.
