Artistic Connections

  • Meeting new friends
    Creative Art Society or CAS is a nonprofit art club located in the Downriver area in Southeastern Michigan, USA. We are extending our reach to include art communities throughout the region.

  • The goal of CAS membership is to encourage the appreciation of art and artistic growth. We enrich the explorations of the visual arts by our youth through scholarships. We promote creative development through exhibitions and educational opportunities for its members. We hope to provide notice of artist-related events, classes, and demonstrations within our Southeastern Michigan communities.

  • CAS gathers for monthly meetings to connect as a group of artists from all walks of life. All ages and all artistic levels are welcome. If you enjoy meeting the artistic members of your community who gather and mingle with others, we invite you to join us.

  • Guest Artists provide Art Demonstrations for nearly every meeting. Our monthly meetings are held every second Tuesday of the month at Southgate at 6:30 PM.

Online Connections

  • Connecting Online with CAS and Zoom
    Watch for impromptu Zoom CAS-supported meetings. This is where we can talk online about what you are working on and/or discuss art supplies, products, your personal art-related experiences, new techniques, your favorite art mediums, etc. Here we hope you will help others explore some of your personal favorite local visual artists as well as visual and art educators and local classes.

  • Finding and sharing Web Sources with members
    CAS also encourages you to share your favorite videos, websites suggestions, and any online sources you have found to be helpful throughout your artistic journeys in the impromptu Zoom meetings so be sure to check back often. Or let us know if you are interested in doing an Art-related blog on the CAS website.

  • Organizations and Business connections - We also offer online links to other like-minded local art organizations and businesses within the Southeastern Michigan Downriver area art communities. We hope to continue to expand our new Creative Art Society website will help provide a better connection with you the opportunity to share interest, knowledge, fun, and passion for the creative side of life, then please join us as a member of the Creative Art Society.

  • Art 101 - If you enjoy creating art, learning about new art techniques and artistic trends, and sharing your own creative experiences with like-minded artists, then the Creative Art Society could be a great fit for you. Attending meetings, taking a class or exhibiting in an art show are some of the helpful tools for you as you explore your creativity.

  • Local Exhibits - If you enjoy attending and/or entering your art pieces in local art exhibits, and shows, or maybe you are interested in learning how to sell your art, or you would like to meet CAS members who do… again, we think Creative Art Society could be a great fit for you.

  • Support your Local Art Community - CAS offers multiple opportunities for all of us to work at “Keeping Local Arts Alive” in the Downriver area in located in Southeastern Michigan. We offer the opportunity to find support and work together getting involved in the community through visual arts.

Volunteer Opportunities - As a volunteer, we offer you opportunities to experience visual art from not only the creation of your own art but also through the display and sale of your art pieces.
