Community Open House Set for Tri-C's New Center for Creative Arts

CLEVELAND, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Cuyahoga Community College officials today announced a community Open House will be held at the College's new Center for Creative Arts building on Wednesday, September 15th, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The Center for Creative Arts (CCA) is located at Tri-C's Metro Campus, 2900 Community College Avenue.

The four-story, 75,000 square foot Center is home to cutting-edge facilities for media arts, recording arts technology, music ensemble studios, theatre and dance studios, video editing and animation labs and other Tri-C creative arts programs. It provides needed studio, lab and performance space, and establishes a unique creative environment. The building will also house the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's library and archives.

"The CCA boasts state-of-the-art facilities in a number of creative arts disciplines," says Dr. Brian Bethune, Dean of Creative Arts at Cuyahoga Community College. "But what makes the Center even more exceptional is the outstanding staff of educators that's been assembled to work with our students here. Many are professionals currently working in their field who are helping train the next generation of creative arts leaders in the region."

Dr. Bethune says faculty and students will be on-hand during the Open House to show visitors the advanced technology in the building and how it's enabling students to learn on equipment that's being used to make movies, CDs and other artworks in Hollywood and beyond.

Valet parking is available for the Open House at 2809 Woodland Avenue. More information on Creative Arts programs at Tri-C is available at www.tricpresents.com
