About:
Founded in 2021 by visionary artist Everna Lee Taylor, Art Central was born out of a desire to provide a dedicated home for local creators in the heart of Phoebus. A Vietnam veteran and self-taught “pictorial storyteller,” Taylor envisioned a space that was more than just a showroom… it is a community hub where art and conversation meet.
