"After I performed on stage, I felt like a CHAMPION!" We need to teach children big ideas if we want them to lead big lives - and arts education can help us do just that. Thank you for being a champion for the arts, and for supporting CAP's work and the children in our community. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp

"Based on my experience from this class, I think coping means expressing your feelings through the power of creativity!" Leave it to a student from our Art as Coping class to really highlight one of the many benefits of an arts education. The arts give children better tools to communicate - they provide the empathy, insights and language to understand each other and themselves. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

"Theatre makes me the best person I can be!" Did you know? Equitable access to arts education is imperative. All children should have access to an arts education that includes dance, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts that supports their educational, social and emotional well-being. That is why CAP is committed to continuing its work of providing essential arts education for children in Northeast Florida. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for many things: our students, family near and far, and most importantly the arts. Arts education promotes understanding and mutual respect for people with diverse histories, cultures and perspectives. Today and every day, we acknowledge and learn from all who have come before us to shape our future. Because of them, and you, CAP is able to transform children’s lives through the arts. Thank you!

"The most important thing I learned in my CAP class is to inspire other kids and follow your dreams." From students to stakeholders - the commitment to CAP’s long-running programs is due to the compelling nature of our curriculum, the quality of our local teaching artists, and the desire of children and families to embrace education in the arts as a means of fostering true change in their lives. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

"As we celebrate National Arts & Humanities Month, it is my hope that the unique potential of arts education will help us achieve our country’s promise of E Pluribus Unum – out of many, one." - Kimberly Hyatt, CAP President & CEO. What a perfect quote and photo pair with these two collaborative pieces from the 2019 Visual Arts Showcase. This year's collaborative pieces will look a little different, but our teaching artists are hard at work ensuring every CAP student still benefits from an arts-rich education. And ICYMI - quarter two enrollment is now open! Check out the link in our bio for more info. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed #ArtsCreateHope #NAHM

The driving force behind all CAP programs is the belief that the arts matter—they provide essential skills, like creative thinking, perseverance, teamwork and self-discipline, that benefit all people in all areas of their lives. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp

As programs shifted to virtual instruction during the pandemic, we wanted to ensure our students still enjoyed and benefitted from their continued programs. Here’s what some of them had to say when we asked what they enjoyed most about their virtual CAP class: “Seeing my friends.” “That I could still learn, even through social distancing.” “Dancing with my mom.” “Seeing my teacher.” #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed
