As a nonprofit arts community center providing facilities and expertise, the Zootown Arts Community Center delivers all ages arts education, fosters sustainable community development, and promotes accessible, life-enriching art experiences for Missoula residents and visitors. By bringing working artists, artists-to-be, children, and community members together, we emphasize the richness of our own community and strengthen our organization. ZACC is located on the northside of missoula in a historical district. Since 2008, the Zootown Arts Community Center has served as the central bridge between community and art in Missoula. The founders of the Zootown Arts Community Center (ZACC) sought to develop a place where all aspects of art from creation to experience were housed in a single space shared by the community. The space they envisioned now exists as the ZACC. A nucleus of creative activity, this multi-use facility provides opportunities in arts education for all ages. The ZACC has 6 studios available for rent by local artists or small businesses, and acts as a safe, creative community center. ZACC houses a drop-in paint your own pottery studio, glass fusing studio, retail shop, and printshop which is open to the public 12-6pm Monday through Saturday.
