Greetings!

This past Friday, CCAC enjoyed a wonderfully successful evening with our Art Loop reception for the photography exhibit, "Eye Shadow".  Our eight female artists welcomed a packed house viewing their works. We were thrilled for these artists and for our organization to have so many people celebrating us!

As we move through this 65th anniversary year, we look forward with great excitement to more opportunities like this to expand CCAC's reach to broader audiences; break new ground in community partnerships; answer the needs of artists, students and teachers; and make a critical difference in the lives of all our neighbors.

We hope you will continue to celebrate this milestone anniversary with us, by joining in the quest for community excellence spurred through the Arts!
