Bringing art education to the community, bringing community to art education.
The Community Arts Partnerships (CAP) program develops and maintains partnerships between CCS and dozens of organizations in the metropolitan Detroit community. Partnerships work with educational and community organizations to:
- Inspire young people from diverse backgrounds to make the visual arts a part of their lives.
- Bring education in art, design and new technologies to the neighborhoods of Detroit.
- Inform young people about art and design career opportunities.
The CAP approach to community arts education is based on a visual arts curriculum inspired by art making, team teaching, and team learning. Programs are individually crafted with the host organization.
Programs Include:
- School and after-school student enrichment programs throughout the Detroit metro area. CAP provides free art classes to more than 4,000 kids from Detroit annually.
- Public art and neighborhood beautification, including murals and art exhibits.
- Specialized art and design programs for students and teachers on the CCS campus.
- Art and design Career Discovery Tours for middle school students.
