Creative Arts Center Community
The Creative Arts Center of Dallas (CAC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that provides a nurturing community for artists to exchange ideas, share techniques and explore new creative avenues. We are located on a two-acre campus four miles east of downtown Dallas and two miles south of the Arboretum.
We believe art is for everyone and work to make arts education more accessible for our community. In summer we offer Camp MetalHead—an opportunity for high school students to explore jewelry and metal fabrication and Run with the P.A.C.K. is our teen mural painting program at no cost to participants. In the spring and fall we offer free artist-led projects at Klyde Warren Park through our Art as A Second Language initiative. Throughout the year we offer scholarships for our classes and workshops.
