The Center for the Arts at the Candy Factory sponsors summer camps for children and teens, theatrical productions for children and adults, teaches classes in the arts and provides community outreach programs for local youth. Founded in 1984 by a group of artists and art lovers, the Center for the Arts aims to enrich the quality of life in the Northern Virginia suburbs through performances, gallery exhibits and arts education. A theater, an art gallery and classrooms are located in the Center’s historic home in the Candy Factory in Old Town Manassas.

The mission of the Center for the Arts is to enrich the quality of life among all the populations in our area through diverse education and presentation arts programming of the highest quality.

"How important are the visual arts in our society? I feel strongly that the visual arts are of vast and incalculable importance. Of course, I could be prejudiced. I am visual art."

- Kermit the Frog, Muppet
