CAC is a non-profit community arts organization and school of visual arts geared to working artists and adult students of all skill levels. In addition to its metal department, additional classes are offered in jewelry, fused glass, painting, stone carving, mosaics, photography, printmaking, drawing, ceramics and clay sculpture. Instructors include well-known artists and art educators whose work is in public and private collections, including Sonia King, Art Wells and David Newton.

According to Ms. Pollak, CAC is poised to become one of the top adult art education destinations within the North Texas area. “The mission of the Creative Arts Center of Dallas is to provide a nurturing environment for people to discover, develop and express their artistic vision. CAC is not only a dynamic arts organization, it is also a thriving arts community which provides outreach to children in the Dallas area” said Ms. Pollak.
