The Centrum Arts League was chartered in the summer of 1998 with its mission to support Cypress Creek FACE. This volunteer group, with over 125 members, raises funds each year to sponsor the Free Children’s Series, the Focus on Education scholarships, the Summer Camp program as well as helping to fund the FACE operating budget. Additionally, the League provides countless hours of volunteer work and forms a strong base of community support for FACE concerts at The Centrum.
Since 1998, The Centrum Arts League has raised over $1,700,000 to support the mission of Cypress Creek FACE. Throughout the year, the League hosts a number of varied educational, social, entertainment and fundraising events. The events include: a Membership Coffee in the fall, an Annual Gala in fall before Cypress Creek FACE’s Star-Lit! Series opening night, a Holiday Luncheon in December, and an annual “Pizzazz with Jazz” Fundraising Luncheon in May.
On May 8, 2025, The Centrum Arts League hosted their 27th Annual Pizzazz with Jazz Luncheon to raise funds for college scholarships, our Free Children’s Series, our summer orchestra camp program and more. Local author and volunteer extraordinaire Linda Bennett Pennell was honored. It was a wonderful success!
