With support from the California Arts Council, Center for Community Arts, City of Walnut Creek will send two key program staff members to the California Art Education Association Conference in November, 2018: “Navigating New Horizons in Art Education.” This assistance will enable Community Arts to leverage new knowledge, skills, exposure and networking toward the realization of our strategic plan, especially in regards to program innovation and community engagement.
In addition to standalone and sequential classes and workshops, performances, preschools, camps and exhibitions at our four locations, Center for Community Arts offers programming at community centers and local schools that foster artistic development, engagement, and connection for those who can’t afford our center-based programs. Current community program partners include Trinity Center (serving homeless and low-income adults), Life Steps Foundation, two local school districts, and arts residencies serving special needs schools through the Contra County Office of Education.
