ARTS
EDUCATION
Several
times throughout the year, The Afro-American Cultural Center provides a
unique world of discovery for children through the Center's CultureCamp,
Artsplash, Dance and Drama Ensembles and other Youth Programs.
Children of diverse backgrounds and
ethnicity come to learn, explore, entertain and just plain have fun while
fulfilling one of the Center’s core missions – promoting African-American
history and heritage.
The
Cultural Center’s talented artist/educators,
including the
Center's Artist Roundtable, bring their expertise to workshops
and other programs.
The Center offers these programs in
varied environments throughout the city, including senior centers, churches,
after-school enrichment, charter schools, the YWCA & YMCA, and Parks and
Recreation. The Community Cultural Program also develops opportunities to
assist and enlighten adults, encourage neighborhood pride, and foster family
heritage and awareness.
Although there are fees associated
with some of the programs, the AACC relies heavily on grants to fuel the
efforts of the Community Cultural Programs. For additional information about
