A cultural center is an organization, usually located in a building or complex, that promotes cultural arts. Cultural centers can be neighborhood community arts organizations, private facilities, government-sponsored, or activist-run. - Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_center Amy Sample Ward

An art center or arts centre is distinct from an art gallery or art museum.
