This year, adventures under the Big Top will be the inspiration for art, music and performance. The Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) strives to give children a fabulously fun and creative experience in our Summer Arts Program.

• Children are placed in groups based on age – groups do not exceed 20 children. We accommodate group placement as best we can in trying to place children with their friends.
• Half of your child’s time is spent in art class, and the other half is divided between art and music. There is a 15 minute snack break mid morning.
• Two teachers and a dedicated intern staff all classes. In addition, each group is assigned two student interns that take the children from class to class, to snack time and to the bathroom.
• On the final day we have a performance and an art show.
