Class Acts Arts (CAA) envisions a shared community where the transformational power of the Arts is an essential part of daily life. To accomplish this, we engage local communities to create interactive arts experiences that inspire learning. We bring the Arts to people where they are. CAA was founded in 1995 in response to the demand for high quality, ethnically diverse cultural arts programs in our schools. Today, we reach hundreds of t h o u s a n d s o f p a r t i c i p a n t s e a c h y e a r w i t h performances, workshops and residencies taught by our carefully vetted and well trained journeymen and master teaching artists who open doors to different cultures and learning experiences.
