The Carver Community Cultural Center mounts a stellar season each year, with performing groups from around the world and an emphasis on African-American artists. The Carver’s mission is to celebrate the diverse cultures of our world, nation, and community, with a keen eye on the African- American heritage, by providing challenging artistic presentations, community outreach activities and educational programs.

This year the Carver Center will host 16 major performances, eight visual art exhibitions, eight free school-day matinee performances for students, a residency series of lecture demonstrations and master classes for students and the community, and an after-school initiative providing art instruction in six public middle schools. The Carver School for Visual and Performing Arts will offer classes in dance, music, jazz studies, visual art, and theater arts for youth and adults. The much used theater complex is once again rented by the community as a venue for educational forums, meetings, graduations, pageants, and performing arts presentations.
