A nonprofit arts organization with gallery exhibitions, classes, camps, concerts, festivals, & more!

Founded in 1975, Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) has spent 50 years fostering and promoting the arts in the foothills west of Denver. What began as a grassroots effort by local artists and art enthusiasts has grown into a dynamic nonprofit arts center dedicated to engaging the community through diverse exhibitions, high-quality arts education, and extensive outreach programs. In June 2024, CAE completed a transformative $2.8M expansion, doubling its space and adding a state-of-the-art ceramics studio, private artist studios, and an Artist-in-Residence program. This expansion reinforces CAE’s role as a true community hub, providing a welcoming space for artistic exploration, education, and connection. CAE’s commitment to artistic excellence includes hosting at least 10 exhibitions annually, offering beginning-to-advanced-level visual arts and crafts classes for all ages, creative writing courses, master workshops, children’s summer camps, and teen mural and mentorship programs. Additionally, CAE presents both a gallery and an outdoor concert series, provides rental space for community businesses and nonprofits, and produces three free or low-cost arts festivals each year. A curated artisanal gift shop at the Center showcases and supports local artists. Beyond the walls of the Center, CAE’s robust outreach initiatives use the power of art to engage underserved and socially isolated populations, ensuring that creativity is accessible to all.

Check out some of the Raku firings from our recent Raku Critters workshop with CAE Artist-in-Residence M Rathsack!

Students spent the first session hand-building their own little ceramic critters, then came back for the REALLY fun part… the firing! 🔥

Raku is a fast, exciting firing process where pottery is heated to incredibly high temperatures and then placed into combustible materials, creating dramatic, one-of-a-kind finishes. You never quite know what you’re going to get, and that’s part of the magic!

We love seeing our students roll up their sleeves, try something new, and experience the art of ceramics in such a hands-on way.

👏 A big thank you to M Rathsack for sharing the magic of Raku with our creative community! Keep a watch out for upcoming Raku classes!
