Radically expanding access to transformative creative experiences.

At the Center for Art and Community Partnerships (CACP), we use art and design to create meaningful connections between MassArt and the broader community. By collaborating with local organizations, we fosters dynamic, inclusive programs that bring people of all ages together to engage in transformative creative experiences.
