The building is a complete renovation of the old St. Mark's Episcopal Church and a new addition that provides more than 22,000 square feet of space for the arts.

The mission of the Friends of the Carrollwood Cultural Center is to offer cultural programs, services and events that encourage individual exploration and promotes a sense of community. The Center participates with several Florida interest groups to promote the arts and its influences throughout the community. These groups offer intergenerational programs as well as initiatives that address particular individual needs and encompass graphic and performing arts, continuing education, and community outreach programs.

The Friends of the Carrollwood Cultural Center is a 501(c)3 organization. For more information, visit the Center's Web site at www.carrollwoodcenter.org.
