About the School

The Contemporary School of the Arts and Gallery was founded September, 2002 by Ron Lytle and a group of  professional artists as a community art school and gallery. Our mission is to bring art into the community and to bring awareness to the arts.

We have had community outreach programs at Nolan, Memorial Rec Center and Elgin Station. We have also had classes for both children and adults at our school on 4 West Franklin Street.

Currently, the school has become officially a non-profit organization and we hope to continue to expand our part in the western Maryland community.

(CSAGI), to bring the community at large, an environment in which the youth and citizens can be enriched by the art awareness experience. We strive to accent the positives with a new awareness and to bring a refinement of encouragement with contributions from all, both in school, and the community at large.
