Cascia, Creativity, and Community (CCC) is a Cascia Hall fine arts initiative designed to strengthen the ties between Cascia fine arts students and the greater community. Various professionals and artists will be brought in throughout the semester to interact with students during their regular arts classes and activities, or, in some cases, Cascia fine arts students will participate in competitions and masterclasses outside Cascia that will allow them to interact directly with others in their field. These interactions between student and artist/professional provide a rich and energetic addition to current studies by introducing students to experts in various arts disciplines and helping students explore how the arts interact with society and diverse cultures. Some cross-curricular and career exploration opportunities will also be presented in certain courses.
