A contemporary arts organization, CCA fosters positive social change, answers civic needs, builds local pride and solves community issues through creativity. The Coleman Center for the Arts is a nonprofit contemporary arts organization located in York, Alabama. Our mission is to integrate contemporary art into education, civic life, and community development throughout our region. The Center focuses on five programmatic areas - arts education for youth and adults; a community-based artists’ residency that produces socially engaged public art projects and events; exhibitions that feature the work of regional artists; a free, public community garden that promotes small-scale food production; and Pop Start, a storefront space for artists-community experimentation.
