Project Kids, a group of parents and community members commissioned by Allen ISD in 2008 to assess the need for fine arts spaces, found none within its borders. The Center opened its doors in fall 2011 – soon after. The Center for the Arts was opened in Allen ISD to provide high-quality arts programming to engage and enrich students. The facility is owned by our district but operated separately from school operations, so it can also maintain its independence.
