CAP Partnering with Julington Creek Plantation

About CAP

For over 30 years, the Cathedral Arts Project, a nationally recognized nonprofit, has been Northeast Florida’s leading provider of arts education. CAP offers quality, standards-based instruction in Dance, Media Arts, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts for a variety of ages taught by qualified teaching artists and fellows.

CAP programs are led by professional teaching artists with a background in art and education. Programs develop creativity, confidence and provide an inclusive, welcoming space for all students. Since its inception, CAP has served over 36,000 students across Northeast Florida.

Arts Programs for JCP Residents

CAP is exploring the possibility of bringing affordable, high-quality arts programs to the Julington Creek Plantation (JCP) Recreation Center starting in February 2024.

CAP would like to hear from families who might be interested in these programs. Since these classes would be exclusively available to JCP residents, we’d love your input to help us gauge interest and plan accordingly.

Potential Programs

This survey gauges interest in weekly one-hour classes in Visual Arts or Theatre from February through May 2025. These classes would be taught by professional teaching artists who specialize in working with students of all ages.

Program Highlights:

  • Hands-on Visual Arts or Theatre instruction
  • Small class sizes for individual attention
  • Age-appropriate creative activities
  • Possible opportunities for a small shareformance or exhibit
  • Convenient location at your JCP Rec Center

Your responses to this survey will help us determine if there’s enough interest to move forward with programming at JCP. Please share your thoughts to help us understand what would work best for local families.

Through the generous sponsorship of PNC Bank, CAP partnered with MOSH today for an exciting and fun event! CAP families enjoyed an arts integrated celebration and exploration of science, nature and the St. John’s River. Through activities like storytelling, acting, making music and creating visual art, we celebrated our community’s most valuable resources, our children and our environment!
