White Bear Center for the Arts

"White Bear Center for the Arts is a gem of indescribable value to our community, providing the kinds of experiences that nurture our souls and sustain our lives." –Christopher Scholl, Executive Director

White Bear Center for the Arts has been a creative home for our region for decades, sustained by trusted teaching artists, beloved classes, and a welcoming space for every age and ability. This year, WBCA continues to bring even more to our community by adding exciting new art mediums to our classrooms and exhibitions. Alongside time-honored offerings in painting, drawing, ceramics, and literary arts, students and artists can now explore digital arts, fiber arts, mixed media, and beyond. WBCA invites you to find the medium that lights your fire!

Give to the Max Day is your chance to invest in both the foundation and the future of arts education in our area. Every gift made through GiveMN enters WBCA into a daily drawing for a $500 ‘Golden Ticket’ grant. More than that, your gift is a vote in the future of White Bear Center for the Arts.

All donations directly support WBCA’s talented teaching artists, trusted staff, inspiring students, and the spaces that bring us together. Your generosity ensures that cherished traditions remain strong while new opportunities for creativity flourish.

Help us spark creativity, welcome innovation, and continue building a vibrant arts community for everyone. Join us for Give to the Max Day 2025! Your support shapes the future of the arts at WBCA. Create something meaningful with us this year.
