Funding Arts Education for All Ages
Walnut Creek Civic Arts Education (CAE) is the premier arts education center in the Bay Area. For over 45 years, tens of thousands of Contra Costa and Bay Area residents of all ages have enjoyed a diversity of quality arts classes and programs. In schools, for example, ArtReach makes learning fun and through grants and donations, brings arts and cultural programs to underserved communities in Contra Costa County.
The Friends of Civic Arts Education Foundation is dedicated to supporting students in the myriad art programs offered by the City of Walnut Creek's Civic Arts Education Program. The Foundation provides much-needed scholarships and program support to allow all children and adults to participate in Arts Education programs at the Shadelands and Civic Park campuses and in public schools.
