Mission Statement
Cygnus Creative Arts Centre is a comprehensive arts facility, offering programs for all ages and levels of experience in a creatively dynamic environment.

Our primary goal is to provide a complete study of the arts. Integration of the disciplines is available for those who wish to pursue professional careers or personal study.

Training in the arts demands personal introspection, experimentation, risk taking, and interaction with the world at large. Cygnus serves as a guide and resource in this creative discovery.

Brief History
In 1992, Cygnus was born from a concept developed by Maryann Cannon and Cynthia M. Domino to create a total arts school in the former McKee City School building in Egg Harbor Township. Their perseverance, resources, dedication and sweat equity transformed the school into a facility that meets the Township’s needs.

After a year of development, Cygnus was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation on August 6, 1993 and continues to offer classes in dance, art, drama, music and voice under private instruction.

The organization was established to foster the arts throughout the community and surrounding areas by offering quality diversified programs with degreed professional faculty and qualified professional guest artists.

The organizations objectives are to: bring art into the community, offer classes in all the arts to develop talent both young and mature, and to bring the artist into the community through collaborations, workshops, exhibitions, and performances.
