Our mission is to provide scholarships and advocacy for arts learning experiences through Center for Community Arts.
Imagine a place right down the street where you can drop in for an evening of creative art projects, will mingling with neighbors and friends.
Imagine a place where your preschool child can have an arts focused learning experience every day.
Imagine a place for your teen can take an improv class to help build confidence.
Well you don't have to imagine it… It all happens right in the Northgate neighborhood of Walnut Creek at the Center for Community Arts.
Our primary purpose is to raise funds that are used to provide scholarships for children, teens, adults and seniors with financial need who want to participate in art, music, dance, drama, photography, ceramics and other arts programs offered by Center for Community Arts.
The Community Arts Foundation is an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We are a 100% volunteer- based organization made up of passionate advocates who raise funds to provide need-based scholarships enabling children, teens, adults and seniors to participate in the wide range of visual and performing arts programs offered by Center for Community Arts.
