The Carlotta K. Petrina Cultural Center (C.K.P.) is a historical building, The true movement is called R.O.C.A. : Revival of the Cultural Arts. But the soul is the community! We are here to introduce Fine Arts to our future, our children but also open to all those to desire to learn. Whether it be to play a guitar, a violin, piano, recorder and/or our newest option "drums". We are also teaching Folkorica Dancing and visual Arts.
We believing in supporting other organization so we work hand in hand with them. We have partner up with a ministry called "Kids Cafe" that consists of feeding children ages K to 18 who are considered homeless by the term "displaced". They along with the parents live in very temporary housing (hotels and etc.) that can last from one day to a week (not knowing when they will end up in the actual streets). We help by providing a secured place for them to meet to eat a good meal that come from great donors like Denny's, Chickfila, etc. Today along with a meal the children were given a workshop for a chance to draw a picture, in hopes of qualifying for an art contest promoted by the Jazz Festival. Again another organization CKP is supporting by involvement.
Even though our building is in dire need of repairs, it doesn't stop the generosity of our volunteers to keep loving and giving. We often do fundraisers that help pay our light bill and other monthly bills. When possible we also provide scholarship to help students pay for the lessons. I am not going to lie but we need lots of financial help or donations of time and or skills to help update our building. We invite the public to come by especially on a Saturday and check us out. You will be wonderfully surprise! There is just so much more to CKP.
