Our Story

The Community School of the Arts Foundation was established in 2003 by a skilled and passionate team of art educators. With over two decades of experience, we have mastered the ability to foster vibrant and diverse communities for young learners and artists. We offer online subscription services for our art programs for children and teens and free local educational opportunities. For adult learners, we provide in-person and online paid counseling classes. We partner with local schools, artists, and other youth organizations to bring quality arts education to students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. With the help of donations from large institutions or patrons like you, maximize our potential to reach budding young artists globally.
