For more than 30 years the Agassiz Neighborhood Council (ANC) has provided Cambridge youth and families with high quality, accessible programs and services, including after school and summer youth programs, a children's performing arts series, an art gallery (the Sacramento St. Gallery) featuring monthly exhibitions of work by youth and local artists, a newsletter (The Whistler) available in paper format and online, and monthly community forums.

ANC's latest initiative, the Maud Morgan Visual Arts Center, will provide studios for artists and youth citywide with artist-led instruction in the visual arts, opportunities unavailable in Cambridge schools or after-school programs. Named after Cambridge painter and graphic artist Maud Morgan, the Arts Center is expected to open in fall 2004.

ANC is located in a classic Victorian house at 20 Sacramento St., a short walk north of Harvard Square (east off Massachusetts Avenue). The Arts Center will be located in a renovated and expanded carriage barn behind the house, on ANC's pleasant, tree-lined lot. Come visit us and see what we offer the city of Cambridge!
