About the Community School of the Arts

The Community School of the Arts (CSA) has history of providing community based programs sponsored by the University of Connecticut (UCONN) for over 35 years. In 2014 the University partnered with Mansfield Parks and Recreation in continuing to offer an array of high quality instruction in the arts. This fall will begin a new era for the CSA as Mansfield Parks and Recreation will now independently administer the CSA program. Participants can be reassured that Mansfield Parks and Recreation remains committed to provide high quality instruction and facilities to individuals partaking in CSA programs. The core mission of CSA will not change. CSA will continue to offer students of all ages and ability levels with professional, affordable instruction in the performing and visual arts. Mansfield Parks and Recreation has retained the services of many instructors who have been teaching with the CSA under UCONN and will continue to employ highly qualified professionals, many whom have already achieved or are actively pursuing advanced level degrees in Fine Arts at the University of Connecticut. We look forward to serving you with the CSA and other invite you to explore the numerous other recreation and leisure services provided by the Town of Mansfield.
