The CCATE Art Gallery opened in July 2023 with more than 30 pieces of community-created art and celebrated its formal opening in May 2024. Thanks to the Connelly Foundation, the gallery space is being renovated (more than 90% complete in 2026). The gallery shows paintings, photography, ceramics, murals and installations made by CCATE children, youth and adults, and hosts visiting exhibitions.
