The Cain Center for the Arts is a source of creative expression for the people of the Lake Norman region. Made possible by the founding gift of Ericka and Bill Cain and other local philanthropists, we first raised our curtain in 2023 to offer the community many opportunities for art education and performance. The art made here is for all ages and backgrounds, with space and resources to express and explore our experiences with the world and each other. We encourage members of the community to get involved as audience members, artists, students, or volunteers to present quality visual arts, performing arts, and social experiences to the Lake Norman Region. This mission is supported by the guiding values of the Cain Center: community, education, inspiration, and entertainment.
