Jon Berstein, from Wildcat Mansion, has started an exciting new project: WACA. The Wildcat Academy of the Creative Arts (WACA) is a new nonprofit focused on making arts education accessible to everyone, no matter their age. WACA is all about inspiring creativity in visual, literary, and performing arts.
Located on the beautiful 24-acre Wildcat campus, WACA is designed to be a welcoming space where creativity can flourish. Through its programs, the academy encourages people to explore their artistic side and discover their full creative potential.
WACA’s mission ties in with local efforts to bring more cultural and educational opportunities to the community. As a nonprofit, it also opens the door for local businesses to get involved through partnerships, sponsorships, or supporting arts programs.
