"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
