“We all have dreams, but making dreams come to life takes a lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort—that is the most important lesson I’ve learned through CAP.”

Every child has a creative spirit. For some, it comes alive through the visual arts: turning blank pages and digital canvases into expressions of hope. For others, it breathes through their bodies – transforming notes, choreography, and words into personal statements of joy.

Children develop the technical skills to prepare for these moments through instruction in the arts. Along the way, the arts develop their unique strengths – like self-confidence, creative thinking, self-respect, empathy and perseverance. Learn more at the link in our bio.

Learning an art form—whether dance, music, theatre or the visual arts—allows children and young adults to gain essential skills, like creative thinking, perseverance, teamwork and self-discipline, that benefit them in all areas of their lives. The arts provide experiences that are personally enriching, building the confidence and character children need to excel. Learn more about CAP’s work to provide these enriching experiences via the link in our bio.

Did you know? Not only does participation in the arts unleash a child's creative spirit, but research shows clear links between arts involvement and positive outcomes in academics, school attendance, creative and critical thinking, personal behavior, and social and civic participation. Learn more about why the arts are important, and how you can support CAP's mission, by visiting the link in our bio.

Schools with vibrant arts programs have healthy student attendance and good academic ratings. Why? Because the arts keep kids engaged while building the types of personality traits and skills – grit, perseverance, teamwork – that help children and young adults excel in academic subjects. A strong school community plays a vital role in student success.

Studies show that students with access to strong arts programs have higher test scores than those without. They provide an outlet for those who most need it, teach invaluable life skills, and bring communities together. By doing this, the arts become a catalyst for academic and life success.

Join CAP in support of providing arts education access to all children and young adults in Northeast Florida. Visit the link in bio to learn how you can help.

We are excited to announce that as of September 12, CAP has acquired Connecting Thru Music (CTM), a nonprofit organization that offers in-school and afterschool music therapy programs for children and young adults with disabilities.

Are you a former CAP kid, or do you know one? As CAP celebrates thirty years and more than 31,000 students, we'd love to hear from any and all former CAP students - and even their families and CAP teachers - to share their stories. If this is you, send us a message - we'd love to connect! If this isn't you, but you might know some, feel free to share this post and help us celebrate and share the impacts of arts education.

Did you know? CAP began 30 years ago at @jaxcathedral with just one dance class for 10 children who lived in a nearby transitional housing facility. Within three years, the organization began to include dance programs at area elementary schools, and in 2000 it received its 501(c)(3) designation. Today, the organization has provided over 31,000 students, primarily living in under-resourced communities in Duval County, with professional arts education in art as therapy, dance, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts.

“For 30 years, the Cathedral Arts Project has stayed true to its mission to make quality arts education accessible to all children, and we will continue to expand our programs as we pursue this goal,” said President & CEO Rev. Kimberly L. Hyatt, “At CAP, we know from our data that nourishing a child’s creative spirit and innovative thinking also supports their ability to reach their full potential as a student and garner a better understanding of their own humanity.”

“CAP is an organization pursuing systemic change in how we deliver and evaluate the impact of arts education on children,” said Kristine Cherek, CAP Board Chair. “Our important work has impacted the lives of generations of children in Northeast Florida over the past three decades and will continue to build on its incredible foundation and proven track record.”

Did you know? CAP continues to lead a cross-sector coalition with a shared vision for Northeast Florida to lead the nation in providing essential and accessible arts education that recognizes, grows and amplifies every child’s unique skills and strengths.

It must be accepted that the arts are not a luxury for the few but an essential for all that intersects with every aspect of our lives - and it takes parents, schools, community partners, business leaders and all of us to make it happen. Learn more about CAP's advocacy work and partnerships at the link in our bio.

Participation in the arts is much more than an extracurricular activity - it's vital to all children and their academic, social and emotional development. Countless studies reinforce what we see every day—children who participate in the arts consistently show striking improvement in class participation and academic achievement, grow in their ability to communicate effectively, and gain the insights, empathy and language needed to understand themselves, others and the world around them.

When surveyed, students from last year’s programs had to say these things about being in their CAP program:
-My CAP class helped me feel more confident.
-I performed better in school.
-I learned to work hard and overcome my fears.
-Be kind, not mean, and sing your heart out!

Learning any art form allows children and youth to gain essential skills, like creative thinking, perseverance, teamwork and self-discipline, that benefit them in all areas of their life. The arts provide experiences that are personally enriching, building the confidence and character children need to excel.
