The Palestinian Child Arts Center (PCAC; Arabic: مركز فنون الطفل الفلسطيني) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1994 in Hebron, Palestine. Its activities primarily involve the intellectual development of Palestinian children, and to reinforce a positive role for the child within Palestinian society and culture.^[1]

The violent context within which the children have been raised has affected their behavior and life. After the Mosque of Abraham massacre in February 1994 some children were traumatized and exhibited drastic behavioral changes. The programs run by PCAC are designed to gradually allow a child to resume normal life. The center's mission is to fulfill the promise in its slogan, Towards a creative Palestinian child.
