Who we are...
The TAC is a non-profit organization founded to nurture and enrich the lives of artists and the visual arts through education and cooperative support of artists by other working artists. We provide education and community outreach programs for artists of all ages and abilities.
Tracy Art Center is located on historic Main Street in the heart of Old Saybrook across from the town green and the new Katherine Hepburn Theater in an artistically designed space which is used for art shows and fine art classes.
