Description

This art and cultural institution supports and promotes African American and Caribbean performing, visual, and literary arts. There are two theaters here--one that seats 1,800 people and another that seats 250--as well as gallery space, banquet rooms, offices, and a gift shop. Each year, the Academy puts on over 100 programs in the arts, including concerts, theater performances, dance productions, and film showings. The non-profit organization was founded in 1979, and has gained a reputation not only for its rich cultural programming, but also because it has served as the launching pad for various renowned artists, including Erykah Badu and Regina Taylor.
