Cary is a thriving community in the heart of the Triangle area of North Carolina, between Raleigh and renowned Research Triangle Park. The site of the Cary Arts Center has been at the center of Cary education since the 1870s when Town of Cary founder Allison Frances Page opened Cary’s first school there, Cary Academy. Later the Academy would become Cary High School. In 2010, the old school building was revitalized and repurposed to become the Cary Arts Center.website
