Happy 50th Anniversary to ECA
Fifty years ago, ECA was imagined as a place where students from diverse communities and backgrounds could come together to share their common passion for music, dance, theatre, creative writing and visual arts. We are proudly looking ahead to continuing the legacy of connecting students and their communities to one another, across New Haven County and beyond, for another 50 years!
What gives us our longevity?
Innovation
ECA is designed to provide students with an immersive arts education. Students concentrate their studies in one arts discipline and are taught by artists who are actively working in their field. Because of our small class sizes, our teaching artists become mentors to students, sharing their professional expertise, and connecting them with other professionals in their arts disciplines.
Connections
This year, we welcome 300 students from 30 communities throughout New Haven county and beyond. Because of the diversity of our partner school districts, students are able to connect with and share their passion for the arts with peers from different backgrounds. In addition, we frequently welcome ECA alumni as guest artists and faculty members, and connect our students with people and opportunities in the arts community on Audubon Street and throughout greater New Haven.
YOU!
Thank you for believing in and supporting our mission! Please tell your friends about ECA and our 50 years – and counting – of serving students and families!
Our Open House for Prospective Students and Families is coming up on November 2 at 6:30 pm, in person, at ECA.
Anyone interested in attending ECA can meet our faculty and students, see our campus, and learn about all that ECA has to offer. Look for more details on that event coming soon.
