Classes - Accpa Artists Cooperative Homepage

ACPPA's Community Art Center provides affordable
afterschool arts education to residents of the Greater
Norristown Area. Partnering with area organizations such
as the Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library,
New Life Child & Family Development Center, Norristown
Family Center, Grace AfterSchool, and Conshohocken
Library, we are able to provide these classes where the
children and their families already are.

The goals or our Community Art Center are:
Positively influence and inspire the youth of
Norristown… instill a positive sense of self through the
creative process and self expression...provide exposure to
diverse cultural experiences...employ professional artists that
go beyond teaching, they mentor

Dig deeper to go farther…offer a comprehensive approach
to exploring the arts, encouraging students to push themselves
to take risks both within the classroom and within themselves

Make arts education accessible…offer classes, workshops,
and performances at an affordable cost to Norristown families,
in addition to sponsored spaces for deserving families

Celebrate the arts…provide support for teaching artists within
our community... celebrate creative and intellectual
achievements of area artists, performers, and cultural
organizations

Our mission is not necessarily to create artists; we want to
guide young individuals through creative exploration, problem
solving, and self expression to become innovative thinkers who
have found strength in their voice.
