Past Press Releases

The Charles County Arts Alliance (CCAA) is the home and clearinghouse of arts-related information and news in Charles County. It is relied upon by the local news media for current, accurate and interesting information on local arts programming, upcoming arts events, and announcements of arts opportunities to keep the general public well informed about arts happenings in Charles County.

To this end, we blast out CCAA press releases periodically throughout the year to focus news media attention on high priority programs, projects, activities and events sponsored by our organization. These press releases are also provided directly to our CCAA members at the same time, so they see a sneak preview of “the news” in advance of the rest of the public – even before it is published in our local newspapers and other news media!

Our CCAA press releases cover such diverse topics as:

• ArtsFest
• Call for Artists for Waldorf West Library Gallery and Community Bank of the Chesapeake
• “Meet the Artists” Public Receptions
• Arts Scholarship Opportunities
• Arts Grant Opportunities
• Maryland Arts Day in Annapolis
• “Mind Your Business” Maryland Lawyers for the Arts Seminar
• “Back to School” Art Boxes for Children
