Chesapeake Arts Center’s (CAC) Arts Partnership Program exists to create collaborations between CAC and local and regional arts organizations that enable mutually beneficial opportunities for program growth, organizational capacity, and audience expansion. This program allows CAC to support its mission “to foster creativity, create connections, and inspire joy by delivering innovative and accessible arts and education programs.”
The Arts Partner Program provides CAC’s community members with high-quality, diverse art forms and arts presentations that enhance, educate, and enrich their lives.
Partnerships are key to how we impact our community. We are excited to be working with the following partners:
