Community Art Center, Inc

Founded in 1937, the Community Art Center has established an excellent track record of creative youth development with a diverse population of under-resourced children and teens dedicated to propelling Area 4 youth to develop themselves artistically, academically, and socially. The Community Art Center has been a cornerstone institution for Cambridge residents since it was founded in 1937 by a group of local parents. Generations of families have passed through our classrooms, drawing, writing, and dancing, as well as learning photography, pottery, and video. Our dedicated staff and volunteers, some of whom grew up at the Art Center, serve our youth as a family network, knowing the hurdles they must master first hand. Now, we are boosting traditional art forms with 21st century technology with our media and design computer labs. CAC offers two complimentary programs serving 100 youth annually: the School Age Child Care Program (SACC), ages 5-12, and the Teen Media Program (TMP)...
