Community Engagement

Caramoor advocates inclusive arts-in-education exploration. We believe in an intercultural arts practice that actively and purposefully involves artists and communities from a range of national and international ethnic and cultural groups and from across a breadth of physical and mental abilities, languages, social classes, and gender identifications so that the voices and stories of the multiple publics we now serve are heard, expressed, and celebrated.

Caramoor is proud to have partnered with the following organizations in our community:

Charles Turner & Uptown Swing perform at Caramoor’s Juneteenth Celebration in June 2024.
