experiencing ART can change lives!<br />
At <strong>The</strong> <strong>Cultural</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Allen</strong>, we believe th<strong>at</strong> art is a powerful experience<br />
with the ability to change lives. As a result, CACGA is committed to giving artistic<br />
opportunities to our community beyond our campus – reaching out to the counties<br />
of Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland, and Powh<strong>at</strong>an as well as the city of<br />
Richmond! Through workshops, special events, and classes, we are sharing the<br />
transform<strong>at</strong>ive power of the arts with people of all ages, cultures, and abilities.<br />
ART MATTERS! – PRESCHOOL, YOUTH, AND TEEN PROGRAMMING<br />
Art M<strong>at</strong>ters invites young people from preschool to high school to explore and cre<strong>at</strong>e<br />
through visual and performing arts. CACGA provides instruction around the Richmond<br />
region <strong>at</strong> local libraries, special events, community centers, and after school programs.<br />
We also offer free programming for teens detained <strong>at</strong> the James River<br />
Juvenile Detention <strong>Center</strong> and youth in the Police Athletic League (PAL) program.<br />
OPENING MINDS THROUGH ART – SENIOR CITIZEN PROGRAMMING<br />
CACGA is proud to offer the Opening Minds Through Art program (OMA).<br />
OMA provides opportunities for cre<strong>at</strong>ive self-expression and social engagement<br />
through evidence-based therapeutic art activities specifically designed for people with<br />
dementia. OMA also provides volunteers with opportunities to improve their <strong>at</strong>titudes<br />
toward aging through the weekly interaction with OMA program participants. CACGA<br />
employs 3 staff members fully accredited through OMA and partners with area adult<br />
day care centers, assisted living communities, memory care units, and senior<br />
advocacy groups.<br />
