The Cultural Arts Center will host a variety of programs, each designed to support our creative community and enrich our cultural economy.  Several of these on-going programs have been housed in the Arna Bontemps African American Museum.  Hosted in classrooms and venues across the city, they will soon enjoy a permanent home in the Cultural Arts Center.  These include:

​

• Renaissance School of Music (Bontempian Big Band), est. 2002
• Adult & Junior Writers Guild, est. 1993
• Arna Bontemps lecture series/Symposium, est. 2004
• Cultural Arts & Entertainment Exchange, est. 2012

In addition to these existing programs, we will be able to offer community and art classes and a year-round calendar of performing arts events.  The new multipurpose space will provide endless opportunities for expanded culturally-rich programming for all of Central Louisiana!
