Since our opening in 2003, the vision of the Carnegie Visual Arts Center in Decatur, Alabama, has been to provide educational and cultural opportunities to the community. Through our programs, collections, and events, we want to encourage a greater involvement in art at all levels and ages. Not only do we want our visitors and students to enjoy the visual art they view here at the Carnegie, but we also want them to leave with new and innovative knowledge they can share with the community.
