Who We Are
Charles Adams Studio Project (CASP) is a non-profit arts organization located in Lubbock, Texas. CASP was founded by gallerist Mr. Charles Adams with the support of a generous gift from Margaret Talkington, and received its 501(c)3 status on June 10, 2011 with an effective date of October 29, 2009.
CASP’s mission is to serve as a cornerstone in the Lubbock Arts District by developing and sustaining a working artists’ community that actively engages the public with the arts. CASP works to fulfill this mission by providing a creative environment for working artists, by offering access to expensive or difficult to obtain art-making equipment as well as to private studio and public exhibition spaces. CASP encourages community engagement with the arts through public workshops, demonstrations, lectures, First Friday Art Trail events, and studio classes. Since its founding, CASP has acquired and renovated real property within the Lubbock Arts District contributing to the downtown beautification of Lubbock.
