The Lee Arts Center,  a program of the Arlington Cultural Affairs Division, is housed in the Lee Community Center, pictured above.  Studios for ceramics and printmaking are maintained in large,
airy rooms with abundant natural light. There are ongoing open studio programs in pottery,
ceramic sculpture, tilemaking, and printmaking.

 The Open Studio program is designed specifically for self-directed individuals working at advanced levels in ceramics or print media. The equipment and facility are made available for those who are without a studio of their own. No ongoing instruction is given. Participants are expected to be able to function independently with regards to their own work, as well as to perform technical tasks essential to the operation of the studio as a whole and to use and maintain studio equipment responsibly.

The Mini Gallery is a small exhibition space within the Lee Arts Center which provides an opportunity for local and national artists to show their work in approximately 12 solo and group shows per year. The Mini Gallery consists of a 25 foot hallway within the center illuminated by gallery track lighting which can accommodate both two dimensional and three dimensional work.
