For over four decades, the Monroe Arts Center has provided live, professional, visual and performing arts experiences for the citizens of Monroe and Green County, with a 48-year track record and broad support from across the community. The organization states a mission to nurture a diverse community by providing opportunities to experience arts, encourage creative development, and ensure preservation and accessibility of its historic facilities. It is described as a regional asset serving almost 6,000 students, artists, and patrons yearly and serving the citizens of Monroe and Green County. The building used for the program is a former Methodist church designed in Gothic Revival style by architect Edward Townsend Mix, featuring a dramatic rose window on the south façade composed of tear-shaped stained-glass panels, along with decorative brickwork and an angled corner tower that are hallmarks of his work. The Monroe Arts Center maintains a full-time staff of three and two part-time staff, along with hundreds of volunteers.
