KACC was founded in 1995 by a group of community artists with a mission of providing a show place for local artists and furthering the art and cultural education of the community.  The organization began its early years moving from one location to another, hosting art shows and art education.

When the Old Post Office was put on the open market, with the help of James Avery and Bank of the Hills, KACC bought the Post Office in July of 1999, took possession of the building in January 2000 and held the first show in March 2000.
