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.

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! Special thanks to our CAP team, volunteers and @thejessiejax @kidshopealliancejax @pncfoundation @stuartstotts @moshjax  #TheArtsAddUp #CAPkidsjax #artsed ✨

Artistic expression communicates the feelings, preferences, interests and experiences of the artist. Arts education provides children with essential tools to communicate more clearly, providing insight into a better understanding of each other and themselves.
