Greetings!
This year marks the 65th anniversary of Christina Cultural Arts Center as a Wilmington Arts Institution and as one of the cornerstones of culture, performance and education in the First State.
As we look back and embrace our historical accomplishments, we must also look forward, with dedication and hope, to what lies ahead for CCAC: expanding our reach to broader audiences; breaking new ground in community partnerships; answering the needs of artists, students and teachers; leading the charge toward positive community-building; making a critical difference in the lives of all our Wilmington and Delaware neighbors.
We hope you will celebrate this milestone anniversary with us, by joining in the quest for community excellence spurred through the Arts!
Peace and Blessings,
H. Raye Jones Avery, Executive Director
Christina Cultural Arts Center Inc.
