Community Impact Programs

COMMUNITY. INSPIRATION. EDUCATION. ENTERTAINMENT

Cain Center is intentional about its impact on the community. Our core values guide us in the important role of creating experiences and connections throughout the Lake Norman region. We build our programs so that they are accessible to everyone and in that way we strengthen the arts community and uphold our values each and every day.

Arts in School 

Since 2019, Cain Center has presented annual arts education programs in local Lake Norman schools (K-12) to educate, entertain, and inspire the community of Lake Norman. These programs will send organizations like the Children’s Theater or the Charlotte Symphony, to schools to teach kids about the importance and influence of the arts.

Arts in the Community

Cain Center believes that it is important for the arts to reach everyone in the community regardless of the barriers that may be present, and so we host and partner with local nonprofits to align our arts programming with the community.

Scholarships 

Cain Center knows that education and community are incredibly important, so we have built opportunity for scholarship for everyone interested. There are scholarships for all ages for classes and summer camps.

Community Music Lesson Program

The Community Music Program began in 2020 and offers local students ages 7-18 an opportunity for a nine-month program full of music lessons at no cost. The lessons are in voice, guitar, piano and drums; at the end of the program, the student is awarded a free instrument based on the types of lessons they have received.
