Supporting our community through the arts
A Message from our Executive Director

Dear Arts Lovers,
🎨 In all of the lessons I have learned over these past few weeks, the most visceral one is how important people are to each other. As a community center that celebrates the arts, it pains us to not be able to gather. But we are here for you.
🎨 Stay tuned for virtual art classes and day camp opportunities coming this summer. Please visit our website www.carpinteriaartscenter.org to see all the distance learning and creative content we have already developed for the community. We want to keep the creativity flowing! If you want to share any creative ideas or content, please email Kristina Calkins, Operations Manager at kristina@carpinteriaartscenter.org
🎨 Please know that all memberships have all been extended to when we reopen our doors, but if you would like to support the Arts Center now while we continue to serve the creative needs of the community, you can join or rejoin by clicking here.
Until we see each other again, call or e-mail me anytime to get an update on our activities, share an idea, or just to catch up, paige@carpinteriaartscenter.org or 805-452-1658.
🎨 I hope you are staying healthy, creative, and connected!   I miss you all.
Paige Van Tuyl
Executive Director
