ABOUT US

MISSION

The arts are essential to human development and the well being of society. The Community Arts Center is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for artists at all levels of their creative journey, encouraging participation in the arts through advocacy, education and outreach, and serving as a vital creative resource for the community.

HISTORY

The Community Arts Center was founded in 1948 by a group of local artists. Throughout its long and successful history the Arts Center has continually pursued excellence in all areas of its programming, expanding course offering and other programs to meet the needs of its community.

PROGRAMS

Currently the Community Arts Center offers four semesters of classes for students of all ages. Areas of instruction include drawing and painting, pottery, sculpture, jewelry and metals, photography, movement and sculpture. The Center's Summer Spree Visual Arts Camp for children ages 4 to 15 offers students the opportunity to try a wide variety of arts in a creative and supportive atmosphere.

Integral to the Center's program are a variety of activities including bus trips and an annual trip abroad, live musical concerts, art exhibits and special events. All of these activities are planned to foster the understanding and appreciation of the arts in the local community and beyond.

ART to GO

A Unique Art Outreach Program

 

ART to GO is the Community Arts Center’s unique outreach program which provides specifically designed arts programs for groups and organizations throughout the Delaware Valley. ART to GO brings the arts to those who are unable to take advantage of the Arts Center’s programming.

 

Programs are offered in all areas of the visual arts. ART to GO is designed to complement an existing curriculum or provide arts experiences for groups that do not have the opportunity to experience the arts. Programs can include drawing and painting, ceramics, jewelry, photography, sculpture and much more. Each program is tailored to meet the needs of the individual organizations.

 

Some of the programs we are currently providing;

 

Elementary Art at Toby Farms School in Chester

 

Jewelry Classes at Newtown Square Public Library

Ceramics Artist in Residence at Stetser

Elementary School in Chester

 

Ceramic Installation at Elwyn in Media

Ceramics Experience at St. Joseph’s School in Aston

 

Elementary Art instruction at Frederick Douglass School in Chester
