About Central Arts of Bedford

Central Arts of Bedford is a 501(c)(3) community arts center that operates as a donor‑facing nonprofit serving the Mid‑Cities (Bedford, Hurst, Euless and nearby communities). The organization focuses on artist development, rotating gallery exhibitions, affordable classes for children and adults, youth camps, and outreach programs that bring art into underused commercial spaces. Since receiving tax‑exempt status in 2017, Central Arts has expanded program offerings (including an artcade/esports component and maker tools such as 3D printing and graphic design services) and continues to host immersive classes, exhibitions, and community events aimed at increasing local access to the visual arts. Recent financial filings show the organization remains active with program‑driven revenue and ongoing community programming within the last 2–3 years.
