Education
Expanding Opportunities, Unearthing Hidden Talents.
The Carver School of Visual and Performing Arts (CSVPA) provides community-based arts classes, summer camps, master classes, and artist residencies, which offer children and adults an opportunity to explore a variety of art forms: dance, music, theater, the visual arts and more. With an emphasis on the preservation and celebration of African and African-American art forms, the Carver Community Cultural Center is in a unique position to provide artistic and cultural experiences that celebrate diverse cultures and interests.

Art Lab sessions provide an eclectic mixture of fun, inspired and educational six-week courses in the visual, performing and cultural arts. Sessions occur four times a year, with classes offered Saturday mornings.
