The Cannon Beach Arts Association (CBAA) is a multidisciplinary arts organization sponsoring the several educational programs.
A CBAA Scholarship Program has been established for graduating seniors of Seaside High School. The scholarship is awarded to a student(s) planning to pursue continuing education in the arts. This scholarship is not based on academic achievement and is not limited to students entering college. It is based on the arts interests and achievements of the students and their desire to pursue those interests. See the “Contact Us” page to reach us about specifics of this program.
A children’s Summer Art Camp brings weeklong art classes to students. During the last week of July (26-30th) children aged 4 to 14 years spend their afternoons exploring an art form with instructor/artists. Classes are very hands-on with lots of one-on-one attention and projects tailored to individual skill level.

The camp runs Monday through Friday, 1:00-4:00 PM at the Cannon Beach Elementary School. Typically, a child signs up for one class for the week and classes are limited to ten students.
The classes are:
