ArtsReach

The California Arts Project Newsletter

October 2024

Click here to learn some of ArtReach's history. 

ArtsReach has been a pivotal communication tool, instrumental in supporting the achievement of remarkable milestones in arts education, including the establishment of the University of California F requirement and California Subject Matter Project in the arts, known as The California Arts Project (TCAP). 


We are thrilled to announce the return of TCAP’s ArtsReach Newsletter, now in an exciting new format! This beloved newsletter has a storied history, tracing back to its inception with mimeographed copies created by leaders of TCAP’s roots in “Fine Arts Curriculum Implementation Center” and shared among dedicated California school and university arts educators. 


As we embrace and expand this fresh format, we are not only celebrating our legacy but also ushering in a vibrant new era for arts education in California.

The California Arts Project celebrates the boundless potential of teachers' and students' creativity.

We are on a journey together to nurture and encourage

innovative minds.

Reflections of a Summer of

Recharging and Learning

Educators this fall are implementing the knowledge, skills, and instructional approaches they gained this summer.

Imagine the learning opportunities that are unfolding this fall for students as their creativity flourishes through vibrant learning environments.

Together, we can unlock the potential of every student and redefine what is possible in education.

Partnering with Schools and Districts as they embark on transforming their arts education programs!
