Trinity Center

Center for Community Arts has been working with Trinity Center since 2017. This partnership provides workshops in music, photography, mixed media, and creative writing to vulnerable populations. Our instructors create a safe space for expression and creativity. This collaboration has led to many exhibitions of unique work.

Walnut Creek Civic Pride Foundation provides grant funding for this partnership. 

A Drive to Create

This partnership started in 2017. Center for Community Arts and lead artist Peter Foucault collaborated with affordable housing communities in Walnut Creek to bring collage, watercolor, fiber arts, and clay workshops to residents. Those communities were Villa Vasconcellos (senior housing) and the Oaks (family housing). During the six-week program, residents of all ages made art inspired by themes of family and home. The program ended with an exhibition at Shadelands Art Center that featured shadow boxes by residents, instructors and staff. The shadow boxes were inspired by visual artist and filmmaker Joseph Cornell.

Today, California Arts Council supports this workshop and programming. Special thanks to EAH Housing and Resources for Community Development for their dedication to this project.
