Since 1965, the ANC has flourished as a not-for-profit organization for Islanders and visitors, promoting the creative arts, providing a sales outlet for Island artists and craftsmen, and directing nature study programs with special emphasis on youth education.  Its only sources of funds are contributions, memberships, book store sales and art commissions.

 

The building housing the ANC dates  back to 1904 and was originally used as a schoolhouse, one of four schools on the Island.  Upon consolidation of the schools, the building became the high school  and was used as such until 1964.  The ANC was then founded in 1965 for the preservation and promotion of creative arts and natural history of Washington Island.
