Creative Arts was founded in 1978 by a group of local parents concerned about arts in the community after a year of brainstorming and drafting the proper paperwork to start an organization. Their goal was to serve elementary school children with enrichment programs, primarily in the visual arts.

During the next ten years, programs were expanded to include music and adult classes. To accommodate the expansion, space was rented in a local church, creating a center for arts education. Professional staff was gradually added, and in 1988 Creative Arts became a member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts.

Today Creative Arts continues to be the “center for arts” in Reading and other local communities. Continuing our mission of fostering a passion for the Arts, we provide cultural services to hundreds of families from over thirty communities year-round. Our music program includes a Suzuki Talent Education Program for violin, viola, flute and piano, and traditional music instruction on all band and orchestral instruments as well as voice and piano. The visual arts program features adult classes and an array of programs for children in all mediums. New classes and workshops have been added for all ages and abilities. The theatre program has also expanded, offering classes to children as young as 3 years old. Due to high demand and space needs Creative Arts holds various off-site lessons and classes at Andover's West Parish Church, North Reading's Union Congregational Church, and various elementary schools. During the summer, Creative Arts offers activities from art, theatre and music camps to private music lessons.

Creative Arts strives to be the cultural arts center of the North Shore; a community school that provides quality arts education for all, regardless of their artistic ability or socio-economic status. All should feel welcome in our space. Creative Arts endeavors to draw people together and be a home for the arts community through collaboration, performance, education and arts programming. By supporting creative expression and artful exploration, Creative Arts desires to enhance the quality of life for all who participate.
