  • Current CCAC Workshops

    CCAC sponsors hands-on, free and low-cost workshops in libraries and other venues throughout Cattaraugus County. Our workshops are sometimes the only opportunity many residents will have to participate in art instruction that is presented in a fun and nurturing environment. The library art workshops have been attended by thousands of Cattaraugus County residents in the past seven years. Workshop topics have included: oil painting, guitar playing, metal sculpture, art books, creative writing, acting, origami, basket weaving, pottery, photography, landscape painting, jewelry making, watercolors for kids, and belly dancing.

  • CCAC Classes

    In addition to the Library Series, the CCAC offers more intensive fee-based courses and workshops for individuals of all ages and artistic abilities. Fee-based course and workshops are more in-depth, often meet on more than a single night, and because they are limited in enrollment size and target specialized needs, offer more individualized assistance to the participant. To register, call CCAC at 716-372-7455, or email kate.ccac@verizon.net. (Online registration... coming soon!)
