A Message from the Friends of CAPA

As we near Thanksgiving, we pause to appreciate the CAPA, teachers, administrators, staff, students, families, and community that support our artists every day.


Our CAPA artists and their teachers have many exciting plans for the coming year, both artistic and academic, and we want to help them achieve all their goals. Your gift will truly make a difference, behind the scenes and in the spotlight!
