What we’re about
The Cape Cod Art Center is a non-profit membership group continuously operating since its inception in 1948. It serves its members and community with a variety of fine art programs and events. Our mission is to support an environment for artists to explore their creativity and perfect their skills, to build public appreciation for the arts through exhibitions, on site and virtually, and to promote quality artwork to the Cape Cod community and beyond.
Its custom designed facilities include two galleries for monthly exhibitions and two studios for classes, demonstrations and workshops in a variety of art media. All exhibits are open to the public for viewing, never any admission.
### Gift Shop Gallery
Original art, prints, cards, jewelry, pottery, books and many other fine gifts are for sale in our Gift Shop Gallery.
