Did you know? Learning an art form has myriad benefits, and this is just one of many. Check out the link in our bio for more reasons why the arts are important - and why CAP is committed to advocating for all children to have an arts-rich education. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

Participation in the arts is much more than an extracurricular activity. Countless studies reinforce what we see every day—children who participate in the arts consistently grow in their ability to communicate effectively, show striking improvement in class participation and academic achievement, and gain the insights, empathy and language needed to understand themselves, others and the world around them. Visit the link in our bio for more information on why the arts are important. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

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 about why the arts are important at the link in our bio.

"Based on my experience from this class, I think coping means expressing your feelings through the power of creativity!" Leave it to a student from our Art as Coping class to really highlight one of the many benefits of an arts education. The arts give children better tools to communicate - they provide the empathy, insights and language to understand each other and themselves. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

The driving force behind all CAP programs is the belief that the arts matter. They provide essential skills that benefit all people in all areas of their lives. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

"Music makes me confident even though I’m shy."

Arts education promotes understanding and mutual respect for people with diverse histories, cultures and perspectives. Today and every day, we acknowledge and learn from all who have come before us to shape our future. Because of them, and you, CAP is able to transform children’s lives through the arts. Thank you!

"The most important thing I learned in my CAP class is to inspire other kids and follow your dreams." From students to stakeholders - the commitment to CAP’s long-running programs is due to the compelling nature of our curriculum, the quality of our local teaching artists, and the desire of children and families to embrace education in the arts as a means of fostering true change in their lives. #CAPkidsjax #TheArtsAddUp #artsed

"As we celebrate National Arts & Humanities Month, it is my hope that the unique potential of arts education will help us achieve our country’s promise of E Pluribus Unum – out of many, one." - Kimberly Hyatt, CAP President & CEO. What a perfect quote and photo pair with these two collaborative pieces from the 2019 Visual Arts Showcase. This year's collaborative pieces will look a little different, but our teaching artists are hard at work ensuring every CAP student still benefits from an arts-rich education.

And ICYMI - quarter two enrollment is now open! Check out the link in our bio for more info.
