The mission of the Center for Contemporary Arts is to encourage, empower, and inspire artists, children, and the community through the arts. The Center fulfills its mission through three main programs: Exhibitions, ArtReach (including art camps and free art outreach programs to promote healing and a creative outlet for persons who have experienced trauma including: military veterans with PTSD, incarcerated youth, refugee children, adults with intellectual disabilities, children in foster care, and more), and ArtWalk, a monthly downtown mini arts festival.
