CCAC Workshops
Workshops are a great introduction to a particular art form or medium and offer an introductory sample at a low or no cost option. CCAC schedules most of the workshops in the area libraries to make access to creative and quality art instruction available to citizens throughout Cattaraugus County. CCAC's art workshops are funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts and the County of Cattaraugus.
