  • The Cultural Center of Cape Cod

    THE CULTURAL CENTER OF CAPE COD IS A YEAR-ROUND, INCLUSIVE ARTS AND CULTURAL HUB IN MASSACHUSETTS WITH TWO CAMPUSES. THE BASS RIVER ARTS CAMPUS INCLUDES FIVE GALLERIES, RESIDENT ARTIST STUDIOS, A PERFORMANCE HALL, CULINARY ARTS CENTER, RECORDING STUDIO, CERAMIC STUDIOS, MAKERSPACE, AND CLASSROOMS. THE HYANNIS CAMPUS IS HOME TO THE ART BARN, AN INTERACTIVE CHILDREN'S ART MUSEUM OPENING IN 2025 THAT WILL OFFER HANDS-ON ART AND DESIGN EXPERIENCES FOR AGES 4-10, WITH YOUTH-CURATED EXHIBITIONS ON A MONTHLY ROTATION. IN 2024, THE CENTER PRESENTED 28 ART EXHIBITIONS, SHOWCASED HUNDREDS OF ARTISTS, AND OFFERED 786 HANDS-ON CLASSES FOR ALL AGES. WE HOSTED 65 CONCERTS FEATURING 314 PERFORMERS, WITH 47% HEADLINED BY WOMEN AND 19% BY BIPOC ARTISTS. OVER 2,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS SUPPORTED EXHIBITIONS, CONCERTS, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, AND 207,000 WAS INJECTED INTO THE CREATIVE ECONOMY THROUGH PAYMENTS TO ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS. THE RISE AND SHINE PROGRAM CONTINUED TO PROVIDE TAILORED ARTS ACCESS FOR YOUTH, SENIORS, PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, AND PEOPLE IN RECOVERY. THIS IS A PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANT GROWTH, WITH NEW FACILITIES, EXPANDED PROGRAMMING, AND MAJOR INITIATIVES UNDERWAY. TO SUPPORT THESE PROJECTS AND SUSTAIN OPERATIONS DURING EXPANSION, FUNDS FROM PRIOR-YEAR RESERVES WERE ALLOCATED TO CURRENT-YEAR OPERATIONS. WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE HISTORICAL INTEGRITY OF OUR SPACES AND IN CAMPUS-WIDE ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS, WITH A MAJOR COLUMN RESTORATION PROJECT SCHEDULED FOR 2025. THE CENTER REMAINS COMMITTED TO ACCESSIBILITY, THOUSANDS OF FREE OR DISCOUNTED PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED ANNUALLY THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS, AND GRANTS.
