Welcome to the Cultural Arts Center!
Our team is here to support and inspire anyone interested in the arts. We’re passionate about creating opportunities where all forms of artistic expression can be shared, explored, and celebrated within our community.
Our vision is simple: keep growing, keep creating, and keep bringing people together through the arts.
Right now, we offer a wide variety of programs and events, including:
- Art and ceramic classes
- Glass fusion
- Music lessons
- After-school programming
- Makerspace
- Community events like our Annual Hoe Down, Chalk on the Walk, and the West Central Mountains Interactive Arts Festival
- Music residencies
- Theatre productions
- And so much more!
Have an idea for a class, workshop, or event? We’d love to hear it! If you can dream it, we’ll help you make it happen.
The Cultural Arts Center is a place where creativity belongs to everyone. It’s where community members of all ages can explore their unique self-expression—and where our youth can discover, develop, and share their talents.
