Keeping Local Arts Alive in 2024-2025!

Creative Art Society (CAS) is a non-profit educational art club (501(c)4 comprised of members who are artistically-focused individuals. Our primary interest has been in helping to keep local arts alive in the Downriver Metro-Detroit area. As a member-supported organization we are pleased to host two major arts shows each year. We are always interested in providing and receiving art education. In addition, our membership helps support multiple visual art scholarship awards given to Downriver area high school and college students annually.

Thank you for stopping by…
