White Bear Center for the Arts

For many years, gold has symbolized lasting value, something to measure against or 'the' standard for quality. What would our future look like if we valued the arts as much as we did gold? How would our lives feel different if everyone could experience what WBCA has to offer?

Creating a thriving arts community is a challenge that we, at the White Bear Center for the Arts (WBCA), rise to each day. Energized by the belief that education is essential for a healthy and active community, we invest in a dynamic network of more than eighty passionate art educators. In our classrooms and professional galleries, WBCA nurtures innovative, high-quality arts programming. 

Together let’s demonstrate how much we value the arts. Join us during Minnesota’s Give to the Max 2024. Each gift to White Bear Center for the Arts made on the GiveMN website will enter WBCA into a daily drawing for a ‘Golden Ticket’ worth $500! As an added incentive, thanks to the generosity of a dedicated board member, the first $7,500 in donations to WBCA will be matched dollar-for-dollar.  All financial gifts through Give MN will be reinvested in our talented teachers, students, staff and thriving arts facility - making this work possible.  

Help us to continue sparking creativity, inspiration, and a collective passion for the arts. Our future is your future. Create something meaningful with us this year!

"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
