The mission of the Charles County Arts Alliance (CCAA) is to stimulate, promote, encourage, provide financial support and recognition of the arts and the creative spirit in Charles County. Founded in 1987, the CCAA promotes all the arts in Charles County: performing, visual and literary arts. The CCAA is the designated arts council of Charles County and is recognized as such by the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC), an agency of the Department of Commerce of the State of Maryland. In this capacity, the CCAA serves as the “umbrella” organization for the arts community in Charles County.
