Our Mission

Known as the "CCAC," we are the Cascadia Center for Arts & Crafts. We're a 5013c3 non-profit charitable organization dedicated to offer makers space and hands-on art classes in the forests of Mt Hood, Oregon.  Our unique operating permit allows us to operate in historic US Forest Service cabins.

 

Each of our makers space are open to registered students, ages 18+, during the summer only. Instructors and students are from both local and out of the area regions.

 

We consist of a volunteer board of directors and staff who share a passion for the arts. Some of us are teachers, we are all artists, and together we are a cohort who helps to connect community with the arts.​

​

We recognize and acknowledge the past, present and future cultural history here in the Cascades. You can count on our commitment to the arts and creating safe spaces for all. Our principles will continue to be inclusive, diverse, equal and accessible.
