CAP’s work is powered by the generosity of its community. CAP’s giving societies celebrate and recognize the donors whose commitment ensures children and young adults across Northeast Florida have access to life-changing arts education and therapeutic programs. This recognition is inspired by the belief that CAP stakeholders possess the transformative power to champion quality arts learning that empowers children to analyze, innovate and create. Donate today to join a society.

Creative Core Society

Monthly Giving Community

This passionate group of monthly donors provides consistent support that helps us grow, innovate and meet students where they are. Monthly giving ensures stability, allowing CAP to focus on what matters most: impact.

Multi-year support allows CAP to strengthen and expand its afterschool, daytime and arts integration programs as well as plan for the increasing demand for therapeutic services like music therapy and art counseling.

It was a whirlwind weekend at the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts, where more than 1,000 Cathedral Arts Project students danced, acted, sang, drummed, and played their hearts out at the annual Performing Arts Showcase!

Thank you to our emcees, teaching artists, assistants, staff, volunteers, parents and students who made this weekend so special. Your dedication created a truly magical experience for everyone involved.

"Through the Cathedral Arts Project (CAP), children discover what it feels like to give their full attention to something meaningful and in doing so they are reclaiming a skill that many of us have forgotten how to practice.
 
We used to think of focus as something we simply had or didn't. But what if it's more like a muscle that weakens when it's rarely used?

Hand a child a violin, a sketchbook or a script and watch time disappear. In that moment of total focus, something extraordinary happens. Learning deepens.  At CAP, that’s the quiet brilliance of arts education; it trains not just the eye or ear, but the mind to stay." 
- Kimberly Hyatt, President & CEO, Cathedral Arts Project
