The Creative Arts Society, established in 1995, is an Austin based, non-profit 501(c)(3) thriving arts organization actively promoting the development of the “Artist in Everyone” for the expanding growth and diversity of our community. Our vision is to be a vital presence in the community inspiring: Cultural enrichment, Community participation, and respect for diversity. Our goal is to increase awareness and appreciation for and through the Arts. CAS welcomes artists from all backgrounds and supports diversity of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability and age.
WELCOME TO CAS!
FEATURED ARTIST Carol Aaron
Artist Statement
I adore the very physicality of building a painting layer by layer. Having my hands on wood, wax and pigment, using fire to meld all that chaos together into a new creation inspires me to rethink my beliefs and reinterpret my relationships to earth and all her beings. I feel as if I am enabled to tell my story by reconfiguring the basic elements of this world.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
If you can believe it, the holidays are peeking around the corner as the weather turns cooler and the days grow shorter. I'm excited about what CAS has accomplished in 2026, with four special events, strong sales across multiple venues, and new member resources like the WhatsApp community (see here for more info: https://www.creativeartssociety.org/whatsapp-community). Coming up, please keep an eye out for the Board election ballot to be sent for online voting in the next few weeks. Also check out the CAS-sponsored watercolor workshop on November 8 (details below). In December, I hope to see you at the Q4 Member's Meeting for Show and Tell, Holiday Potluck, Art Supply Swap Meet, and induction of our 2027 Board.
A quick heads up that CAS membership renewals on Oct 1 or later are good through the entire following year! So if your membership might have lapsed and you were thinking of renewing, now is a perfect time. Find all the details here: https://www.creativeartssociety.org/membership -- Then make sure to check out our open calls (scroll to the bottom of our homepage and click on the button "Access Calls for Art").
As always, feedback and suggestions are appreciated! You can find the contact info for all the board members on the website Contact Us page.
Take care,
Ratha, 2026 President
