History
The Community Art Center was founded in 1937 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[5] [6] It was first in the Newtowne Court housing development block in 1942, which had just been recently completed.[7] [8] In 1996, students from the art center founded the first Do It Your Own Damn Self film festival. It is the oldest youth-led film festival in the United States, although it does accept international submissions.[9] [10] [11] The art center moved into a building across the street from Newtowne Court in 1999.[12] [13]
