Community Art Center
Community Center in Cambridge, MA
Established in 1932 by a group of local parents, the Community Art Center's goal is to nurture kids and young adults with limited access to financial resources so they achieve individual and cultural growth, and have a positive impact on their world through thankful experiences in the arts. Through our 75 years in operation we currently have propelled close to 8000 Cambridge youth to evolve themselves artistically, academically, and socially. We reach this by delivering a combined total of approximately 3000 program hours per year through two central programs and one huge annual event.
