Greetings!
Christina Cultural Arts Center continues to celebrate the fabulous photography exhibit, "Eye Shadow", featuring female artists celebrating life and the world through their eyes.
As we move through this 65th anniversary year, there are so many more exciting opportunities ahead for our families, friends and fans. We also hope that many of our artists friends will take advantage of the upcoming May artist conference, "Discovering the Entrepreneur in You".
We hope you will join us in reaching to broader audiences; breaking new ground in community partnerships; answering the needs of artists, students and teachers; and making 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!
