We celebrate and promote the community's diverse artistic and cultural life; develop and enrich its cultural capacity; and champion the economic, social, and educational benefits of the arts.

Cultural Arts of Waco was incorporated June 2, 2004 as Waco Cultural Arts Fest. Since that time, we have expanded from a once-a-year festival into year round programming made available to the entire Waco community free of charge.

"Doing Business As" (dba) Name: Waco Cultural Arts Fest (WCAF) dba Cultural Arts of Waco (CAW). In 2010, the Board of Directors, through a grant from the Waco Foundation, completed extensive strategic planning with Bower & Co. Consulting LLC to begin a 10-year plan for the future. At that time it was decided that the broader name Cultural Arts Waco better represented the organization's mission and vision.
