Catlin Adult Community Programs
In 2019 when Catlin Gabel acquired the OCAC campus, we committed to continue the community arts legacy of the college. While we hoped to have launched these programs earlier this spring, we were delayed due to COVID-19. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our adult arts programs starting this month! We invite you to explore and sign up.
