The Gainesville Association for the Creative Arts was founded in 1967 by parents and educators who wanted education in the arts to be available to all area children. They recognized the positive relationship among education in the arts, academics, and self-esteem. In small workshops, usually 8 to 10 children, GACA creates a non-pressured atmosphere where creativity can flourish.
We offer programs in the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer for Adults and children ages 3 to 18. Children do not need special attire--just comfortable clothes so they can feel free to participate.
