Established in 1969, the Creative Arts Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the teaching and appreciation of the arts. Open all year, the Center offers classes and workshops in drawing and painting, photography, printmaking, pottery and jewelry. In addition to offerings by its own outstanding teaching staff, the Creative Arts Center also sponsors workshops by such nationally known artists as Mel Stabin, Tom Lynch, Edward Minchin, Don Demers and Mary Whyte.
New exhibitions are mounted monthly in the Somy and Bigelow Galleries of the Creative Arts Center featuring works of Students, Members, and Faculty alternating with regional shows featuring works of other Cape Cod art organizations such as Cape Cod Potters, the Wood carvers, and the Cape Cod Viewfinders Camera Club. Early each summer the Creative Arts Center co-sponsors a national, juried pastel exhibition with the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod. The late August "Festival of the Arts" at Chase Park in Chatham is a juried arts and crafts festival which has become an annual "must see" event for Cape Cod residents and visitors alike!
The gallery is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
