Connecting People through Arts Experiences: At its heart, CPAE is about community. The College Park Arts Exchange seeks to build community by promoting the arts and cultural activities throughout Greater College Park. CPAE brings together people from different neighborhoods, ethnic groups, and generations. CPAE makes nearby artistic, cultural, creative, and educational resources available to local residents of all ages and backgrounds, enhancing their quality of life and strengthening relations among the University of Maryland, the City of College Park, public schools, and other community institutions.

Most events are held at the Old Parish House, 4711 Knox Road, College Park. This is a short walk from the College Park Metro on the corner of Dartmouth Avenue and Knox Road.

The College Park Arts Exchange is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, funded in part by the City of College Park, Target, and the Prince George’s Arts Council.
