Building a Brighter Future

As we enter this season of giving, we reflect on the incredible growth that has taken place over the past year within the Cathedral Arts Project. Growth happens when we are generous with ourselves and others—when we support each other’s progress, allow room for creativity to thrive and push beyond the boundaries of what we thought we could achieve. 

How We’ve Grown

Expanded Reach

CAP offered 276 programs at 65 locations, instructing and inspiring 3,673 children—our highest enrollment ever.

New Initiatives

CAP expanded with the acquisition of Connecting Thru Music, launching new CAPabilities programs to serve children and young adults living with disabilities.

Outstanding Achievements

CAP String Orchestra students performed at the prestigious Crescendo International Music Competition, culminating in a performance at Harvard University in May.

We provided 4,500 opportunities for enriching field trips to Jacksonville’s cultural landmarks to students across Northeast Florida.

Musical theatre isn’t just fun and games.
