“For over fifty years, CAP has served as a free fine arts studio and gallery for people
experiencing poverty, housing instability, and systemic barriers to creative opportunity. Every day, our studio operates at full capacity, providing a safe and welcoming space where artists can build skills, community, and confidence. The impact is profound. Participants find belonging, express their stories, build professional practices, and connect with wider creative networks. Community arts centers do far more than offer programs. They create sanctuary, stability, and pathways to empowerment.”
