ABOUT US

What if there were a place where children and adults could express themselves and experience genuine joy? What if there were programs in music, dance, and art that invite people to connect—with others, with their own creativity, and with the fullness of life—engaging both body and mind? 

The Oak Ridge Arts Collective (ORAC) was born from this vision. We believe the arts open pathways to growth, connection, and wholeness. Through creative practice, we learn to listen, to express, to collaborate, and to celebrate the gifts within ourselves and our community. 

We envision a place where children and young people not only build artistic skills but also experience the joy of belonging to something larger than themselves—a vibrant, intergenerational community of learners, mentors, and friends. 

As we deepen our connection to the community, we hope every person who walks through our doors experiences 

welcome and the sense of wholeness that comes from 

engaging in the arts together. 

We’re so glad you’re here. Welcome to the Oak Ridge Arts Collective— 

a place to create, connect, and flourish.
