We strive to provide the very best in arts education.
Approximately 150 affordable hands-on arts classes (ceramics, dance, music, theater, literature and visual arts) are offered each year. Some 350 students - from toddlers to seniors - participate in classes and workshops at the CAC. Theater performances are attended by more than 7,000 children under the age of eighteen each year.
Outreach
In 2018-2019, CAC was able to reach over 400 students through free and low-cost arts programs. Free and reduced-price arts classes are available – including after school - throughout the year to qualifying residents in the underserved areas of Brooklyn Park, Glen Burnie and Severn through generous grants.
