For our family, Cotuit Center for the Arts is much more than a theater or gallery. It has been a place to learn, grow, connect, and create memories together.
Over the years, our daughter has spent summers in Cotuit Center's camps, building confidence, friendships, and a love for the arts. We have attended countless performances and events, and each one has reinforced the important role the Center plays in enriching life on Cape Cod.
The arts bring people together. They inspire creativity, foster community, and provide opportunities for learning and self-expression for residents and visitors of all ages. Cotuit Center for the Arts has become an important part of our family's life, and we believe it is an important part of what makes Cape Cod such a special place to live.
This year, I am returning as a rider in the Second Summer Cycle to help support Cotuit Center for the Arts and the programs that make such a difference in our community. If you are able, please consider making a donation. Every contribution helps ensure that these opportunities remain available for future generations.
Thank you for your support.

Welcome home to Cotuit Center for the Arts, where the magic of theater, music, art, and education lives under one umbrella—all year long! We are a vibrant cultural hub that collaborates with local artists, musicians, performers, educators, and even celebrities to inspire creativity and connection. Our programming connects people of all ages, abilities, and interests to world-class theater and music, provocative art exhibits, and engaging classes that nurture curiosity and creativity.
Since 1995, our award-winning non-profit has been enriching Cape Cod, Southeastern Massachusetts, and beyond. We host over 50,000 visitors annually in our gallery, theaters, and classrooms, as well as through outreach programs for disabled teens, adults, and incarcerated youth. Our offerings range from innovative art exhibits and unforgettable live theater to eclectic concerts and hands-on workshops that teach everything from the basics to cutting-edge techniques.
We operate with a simple but powerful mission: to educate, entertain, illuminate, inspire, and include. These guiding pillars drive us to provide transformative experiences that foster a deep appreciation for the arts. With hundreds of hours of programming across our campus weekly, our bustling calendar reflects our commitment to being a welcoming space for all. Ticket sales only cover half of our operational needs; the rest is made possible by the generosity of donors, the passion of more than 1000 dedicated volunteers, and the vision of our staff and board. Together, we are building a community that celebrates creativity and connection.
