History
editThe City of Chandler created the Chandler Cultural Foundation in 1989 [5] in order to create programming finance development for Chandler Center of the Arts. As the programming entity of CCA, the Chandler Cultural Foundation presents quality programs that would not otherwise be available in the community.[1]
Today, Chandler Center for the Arts is a local resident and tourist attraction. With its proximity to Downtown Chandler, and the trending shows hosted at the complex, as well as sponsors for the CCA, it has received well, especially in recent years.
In 2019, Chandler Center for the Arts underwent a brand ident refresh, introducing the current cyan CCA logo (as pictured above). Some parts of the exterior complex were redone to reflect this new brand identity. The windows at the reception were also given a makeover.[6]
