Walt Whitman Art's Center's mission is to use world class artists and arts programs to contribute to the revitalization of Camden. Our programs range from innovative mainstage theater, music and dance presentations to neighborhood-based public arts projects and classes in diverse mediums serving pre-schoolers through senior citizens. Anchoring this work for the next generation is a comprehensive arts education program bringing multi-cultural live assemblies as well as hands on arts workshops to our local schools in addition to free summer children's theater presented at the center.
