Cass County boasts a long heritage of quality arts programming. From touring art exhibits and performers to the work of local artisans, visitors and residents alike have come to enjoy the variety of local art fare within the setting of small town U.S.A.

The Cass County Arts Alliance was established in 1999 to advocate for and build upon this rich heritage. By building awareness, promoting events, and raising money, CCAA acts as an umbrella group for these arts partners:

• Civic Players of Logansport
• Logansport Jr. Civic Theater
• Performing Arts Council of Logansport

CCAA hosts two major cultural events each year:

• Med Flory Jazz and Blues Festival - A two day festival celebrating Logansport native and Grammy Award winner Med Flory and America’s original art form, jazz music.
• Art on the Avenue - A day of relaxed fun for the whole family, complete with outstanding visual, performing, and literary artists.

Our emphasis is on quality arts events and nothing of quality comes about without the support of dedicated volunteers and willing financial donors.  If you’d like to become a volunteer or make a monetary donation, please call the CCAA office at 574-735-2787.
