Chelmsford Center for the Arts

Built in 1879, the Chelmsford Center for the Arts was originally the town hall. After nearly one hundred years at the center of daily life in Chelmsford, the building was used as a community center and later as a charter school. In 2009, CCA opened its doors as a public arts institution. And now, this jewel of the Merrimack Valley has opened again as a place for people of all ages to be entertained and inspired. On October 10, 2021, the CCA is back big time! For a listing of upcoming events and performances, just go to: chelmsfordarts.org. In an effort to keep our artists, staff, and patrons safe, proof of vaccination is required.
