Community Art Center Details
Founded in 1932, the Community Art Center has established an excellent track record of 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 1932 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), ages 13-19. SACC offers classes in visual, performing, computer, and media arts. The TMP focuses on giving teens the opportunity to explore self-expression and new avenues of thought through a media arts curriculum. Another 700 youth and adults participate as audience members for our public performances. Our signature public event is the 11-year-old "Do It Your Damn Self!" National Youth Video and Film Festival, the oldest youth-curated film festival in the nation.
