Carver Community Cultural Center

Who We Are

The mission of the Carver Community Cultural Center is to celebrate diverse cultures of our world, nation, and community, with emphasis on its African and African-American heritage, by providing artistic presentations, community outreach activities, and educational programs.

The Carver School of Visual and Performing Arts

We're dedicated to providing community-based arts classes, summer camps, master classes, and artist residencies, which offer children and adults an opportunity to explore a variety of art forms: dance, music, theater, the visual arts and more. With an emphasis on the preservation and celebration of African and African-American art forms, the Carver Community Cultural Center is in a unique position to provide artistic and cultural experiences that celebrate diverse cultures and interests.

• Art Labs: A vibrant series of community arts classes designed to engage, inspire, and connect. Offered in accessible six-week sessions, Art Labs feature a wide range of local artists and practitioners, each class offers a meaningful opportunity to expand your creativity, connect with others and explore new forms of expression.
• Spring Break and Summer Camps: The Carver’s Spring Break and Summer Performing Arts Camps – spanning theatre, dance, and music production – are more than just fun; they’re unforgettable journeys into self-expression, confidence, and collaboration. Led by professional artists, each camp experience empowers youth to grow not only as artists, but as individuals.
• Mobile Arts Lab: The Carver’s Mobile Arts Lab, The Creative Cruiser, brings high-quality arts experiences directly into communities, where people live, work, learn, and play. This vibrant, traveling studio offers free, hands – on workshops, performances, and creative activities for all ages – making the arts accessible, inclusive, and community-centered.
