Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts

From abstract art to the written word, APSU’s Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts offers one-of-a-kind experiences in visual art, music, creative writing and theatre. The only such program in Tennessee, Austin Peay’s Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA) produces more than 100 visual art, creative writing, music and theatre activities each year.

For APSU students, the Center’s master classes, concerts, workshops and lectures create rare opportunities to work with – and learn from – nationally acclaimed artists and performers. For the public, the Center provides countless free and low-cost exhibitions, readings, concerts and performances, including the Clarksville Community Concert Series.
