Our Music Materials Program allows students to request instruments from the String, Woodwind, Brass, Percussion, Electronic, and Keyboard families. Our Arts Material Program provides students with supplies for the visual arts, sculpture, fashion design, photography, and videography. These materials are typically new, but we also enjoy support from various artists and musicians who donate instruments, art supplies, cameras, and audio equipment to support our mission. These donations are used to supplement the new materials we provide. They are renovated and distributed to various alternative education programs, such as the Intro to Rock Program at Old Orchard Beach High School, where students learn songs as a group on donated instruments and audio gear, and can also apply for individual instruction and their own new instrument.

CAC's Arts and Music Instruction Programs provide free and reduced-rate group and individual music and art lessons through partnerships with the Portsmouth Music & Arts Center (PMAC), the Maine Academy of Modern Music (MAMM), and several private music instructors. These lessons include visual arts, photography, voice, guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, piano, cello, viola, piano, and wind and brass instruments.

Our Experiences Program includes hosting regular open mic events, where students share songs, read poetry, and display artwork. We also host public-facing events such as our Revel in the Meadow, a family-friend arts and music festival where student musicians perform alongside professionals, and artists display their artwork for public consumption. We also send students to art and music camps at venues such as the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and the Spartan Drum & Bugle Corps.

CAC partners with a network of teacher and school administrator liaisons throughout Maine and New Hampshire, who assist students with identifying and applying for materials, instruction, and experiences to assist their development. In spring 2022, we partnered with local libraries to establish "Try Before You Apply" programs, which allow students to experiment with various stringed and keyed instruments before applying for their own. Other partnerships include Big Brothers, Big Sisters of New Hampshire, The Key Collective, Biddeford Ready!, and the York County United Way.
