ABOUT US

CazArts is an alliance of area arts organizations, individual artists, and the public that effectively promotes the creation and appreciation of arts.

Thriving arts and cultural activity is the hallmark of a vibrant community. CazArts promotes, educates, and advocates for the arts to policy makers, funders, community leaders and the public.

We are a stronger community when we work together. CazArts is a hub that serves the visual, performing, folk, written and other disciplines of art by facilitating educational and professional development opportunities.
