CapeCodCAN
Since 2016, Cape Cod Collaborative Arts Network (CapeCodCAN) has been an independently-run program under the Center's non-profit umbrella. The merger of the two nonprofits is a natural fit, providing opportunities for artists on the Cape living with disabilities.
CapeCodCAN provides opportunities for inclusion and active participation in the arts for people with disabilities on Cape Cod.
CapeCodCAN serves more than 500 people each year through various art activities including art lessons, gallery shows, public art creation, talent shows, and theatrical performances.
A Card to Culture 50% discount on class tuition (does not include Friday Art Socials or Capoeira) is available to EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare card holders. Students must present their card in person at the Box Office to receive the Card to Culture discount price. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazillian art form combining dance, martial arts, rhythm, and movement. Disguised through music, it helps develop coordination, fitness, flexibility, and body awareness. This class is fully inclusive and open to adults of all abilities and experience. Accommodations will be available for all levels of participation and physical abilities.
Through participation in the arts, people with disabilities use their talents and abilities to express themselves and connect with others. Engaging in rewarding art experiences have a host of benefits, including improved social skills and increased self-confidence and self-worth. Not only do participants gain inspiration from this program, but so do our audiences.
