Chichi Lovett is a dedicated Professor of Art at Auburn University and director of Summer Visual Art Workshops for Children, otherwise know as Art Camps. In the summer of 1994, Lovett began a program that continues to impact children in the Auburn community.

Inspired by the lack of opportunities for children in the community to have access to affordable art experiences and the need for a teaching lab for her Auburn University students during the summer, she created the AU Children’s Visual Art Workshops with the support of Dr. J. Gluhman, the Art Department Head in 1994. These art camps allow children to experience working with a variety of mediums, styles and techniques. This valuable exposure to the arts includes painting, printmaking, mixed media, drawing, weaving and three-dimensional works.

Gifted and generous educators are invited to the workshops to teach their favorite lessons inspired by art movements, styles, specific artists and diverse cultures. A bi-lingual art camp is also offered where artists, modern and traditional artwork from Spanish speaking countries and culture are explored and taught.

Lovett, along with the Auburn Arts Association, Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center, the Jule Collins Smith Museum and Auburn University Art Department, make it possible for the camps to continue year after year. Local artists, art educators, parents, AU faculty and students all work together to provide this extraordinary opportunity for children to participate in meaningful art

Jan Dempsey Community Arts CenterCommunity Theatre, Ballroom Dancing, Featured Regional Artists and Traveling Exhibitions are just a sampling of what the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center has to offer.

The Community Arts Center was constructed to better serve the artistic needs of the Auburn area and provide residents and visitors with access to an outstanding, active schedule of exhibitions, musical concerts, lectures, art classes and special events for children and adults throughout the year. The Arts Center also provides artists, dancers, and actors the opportunity to offer programs and instructional classes to area citizens.

The Community Arts Center’s goal is to inform and educate the local community about art events at the Community Arts Center and beyond! You can explore throughout the website and find information regarding upcoming events at the Arts Center, as well as art exhibits, dance recitals, theatre dates, and community orchestra performances throughout the local community. The JDCAC website is the place to find out about it all! Take a few minutes to discover the arts in the Auburn / Opelika area. We hope you find a program you would like to participate in or an event you would like to attend.
