Your gift to CCAE will assure that we continue our mission—to explore, create, and grow!
The response to the coronavirus/COVID-19 from the CCAE community has confirmed what we've known all along — that we are a special community. Our students, faculty, staff, and friends have responded to the situation creatively and energetically. The pandemic has made us change the way we do a lot of things but it has not changed the fact that we are still a vibrant community.

As the staff finds creative ways for classes to move to Zoom, for the Golahny Art Exhibit to go virtual, and help instructors find ways to share their talents, it has become even clearer to all of us how important CCAE is in the lives of our students.

You have told us how much you missed us, and how meaningful face-to-face learning is for you. Like all of you, CCAE is facing unprecedented times. As a non-profit, we depend on you more than ever right now. A gift right now to CCAE will ensure that we survive, begin again to thrive, and continue to be an anchor in the community.

Please remember that it is only with your support that each year we are able to welcome 11,000 students into our classrooms, pursuing their interests and passions, alongside 300 instructors excited to share their knowledge and expertise. Our mission has always been to provide a safe space where people from all walks of life can explore their interests, develop a new skill, or gather with like-minded individuals. With your support, we will continue to welcome students and instructors into our classrooms for another 150 years!
