CAAPA Cultural Center
Where art, education, and community converge in our vibrant cultural hub.
The CAAPA Cultural Center (CCC) serves as a home base for our transformative programming, bringing together artists and audiences in a welcoming space dedicated to celebrating diversity in the classical arts. From intimate recitals to engaging panel discussions, the CCC is where CAAPA's mission comes to life daily.
From Humble Beginnings to Vibrant Future
Since 2002, the CAAPA Cultural Center (CCC) has served as the heartbeat of our organization, providing a dedicated space where Black classical artists and diverse audiences can gather, learn, and be inspired. Recently relocated to our beautiful new home at Holy Family Catholic Church in Temple Hills, Maryland, the CCC continues its legacy as a transformative space for artistic excellence and community engagement.
The CCC hosts our full range of programming from weekly 60+ ARTS sessions and Arts Academy classes to Performance Series concerts and Panel Series discussions. This dynamic venue adapts to serve our community's diverse needs while maintaining the intimate, welcoming atmosphere that makes every CAAPA experience special.
