CAC’s Community Programs are opportunities for area residents and the general public to engage in a broad range of workshop experiences that range from participatory art-making to health & wellness sessions, cultural enrichment, and neighborhood gatherings. We also feature programming connected to the CAC Gallery’s Artist Exhibitions, these include opening receptions, artist talks, gallery tours, and art classes.
