I can't say enough good stuff about the ceramics instructors. I have been taking classes from one of them for nearly two years. She is pretty awesome. She brings the fun into learning that helps students get past the inevitable clay disasters.

I can't review CCC without mentioning their core values. The want art to be accessible to everyone. When I started I was in a bad place with my health and on disability that only pays 60% of your base salary. I desperately needed a creative outlet that could accommodate the double vision I had developed. Everywhere that I called had class prices far out of my range. But CCC not only advertised their desire to make art açcessible, they actually do. Their scholarship program has made possible a miracle in my life, helped me fight off depression and PTSD. I love this place so much I drive down from Portland.

This place always does a great job putting on free events for the community, being an affordable venue and hosting camps/classes for people of all artistic levels and interests!
I highly recommend taking a class, renting for an event, and/or coming for a Cultural Experience!

Very small. A limited amount photos, paintings, sculpture. If you're coming for the art, look elsewhere. They also offer classes which may be more attractive, although I didn't take any. There's also a ballroom.

I love this place! A beautifully modern conversion of an old school with generous space for concerts, events, and activities. Musicians may appreciate the rentable music rooms and recording studio, parents would appreciate the art classes. I adore how ccc makes art in many forms accessible to the community. The grounds are beautiful as well with gorgeous flower beds and a fun play structure for kids nearby.

I rented this venue for my wedding this weekend. I paid $2800 with $200 deposit, and now they’re charging me an extra $900!! This is ridiculous and upsetting because they’re charging me for cleaning fees, when the man we spoke to told us they were going to clean it for with no reference to a fee, if I knew there was going to be a fee, I would have refused and cleaned the salon myself. On top of that they’re charging me a free for having “too many people,” when I did not even have more than 196 chairs. I know there was 196 chairs because I rented chair covers for what I had. I asked for 24 tables and 9 chairs, but they only didn’t 24 tables and 8 chairs. I even have videos showing empty tables and chairs!! In addition, they did not even have good, ventilated A/C, it was embarrassing because people came up to me personally and told me it was very hot and left early for that reason. They’re also trying to charge me for two rocks missing from the art gallery, even though the space was also open to the public. My florist came the night before the wedding to set up the flowers, and she said she saw rats!! My flowers died the day of my actually wedding because the A/C Doesn’t work. I spent more than $500 on my flowers, for no reason. Employees of this venue even told me the A/C wasn’t functioning properly. My drinks, along with ice was melted and hot. The rest of the building’s A/C was perfectly fine.They’re also charging me a couple of $100s to for boxes left when they told me I could come the following day to pick it up, but the space was closed so how could I pick it up?. I would not recommend this place!!

We rented this venue for my cousins baby shower. our guest list was long and we were in need of a wheel chair accessible venue. The Cultural center was hands down the best venue for an event with wheel chairs. Andrew was amazing through the whole process. he took every phone call I made to him and helped me find solutions for all of the last minute worries with a fantastic attitude. Our family will definitely rent this space again I am sure. If you need a venue that is modern, accessible and easy to do business with call the cultural center and ask for Andrew. You wont be disappointed.

Very inviting atmosphere, quiet and somewhat peaceful.
Attended an art show and was pleased with the exhibition.
In the main lobby were other art objects as part of the cultural center's affiliation with local galleries.

The CCC is a great, accessible art and cultural center! There is constantly an art exhibition happening and admission is FREE T-Sat! They also put on a lot of great performing arts shows and cultural events as well as offer classes for people of all ages. It's a must see as you pass through wine country!
