Community Arts Center
Dorland sponsors various events throughout the year intended to benefit the community, to support Dorland's rebuilding fund, and to showcase and foster the creative spirit of local and regional artists.
With the assistance of Karen Parrott Cahill, the CAS building was donated by Stone Ridge Estates in Warner Springs. A generous donation from Dorland resident and artist Jane Culp, allowed us to build a ramp and large deck, expanding the art studio's use. These were designed and built by Bernal Construction. ADA Parking was installed by Peters Paving. The interior was restored and beautifully painted by Board Member Michael Carrier.
The Main Area AKA The Gallery
The main room of this building provides a gathering place for Residents and Associate Artists. It also hosts communal meals, meetings.
The Dorland Library
The room to the north is a library with comfortable chairs, a writing desk, and bookshelves of works by Dorland authors. Residents are welcome to use the computer and printer.
Workshops
Residents and Associate Artists are invited to use the CAC to offer arts and healing workshops and classes for the children and adults in our community. Watch for email invitations to these events.
Jane Culp Studio
The Jane Culp Studio room provides a generous workplace for visual artists and is already being put to good use by resident artists.
