Dear Friends:

Chair Heather Moore

It has been such a privilege to work with the awe-inspiring children enrolled in our afterschool ARTS Ignite! programs this year as they learned new ways to Stand Up, Stand Out! Bill Gates once remarked, “Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world … if you do so, you are insulting yourself.” At the Cathedral Arts Project, we always strive to help students find what resonates within them, knowing that each student is beautifully and uniquely created. It is our hope that as we encourage their creative thinking they begin to more deeply discover who they are and build confidence in their individuality as they Stand Up, Stand Out! with pride. I always say that if you care about public education, then you need to care about arts education. The most lasting way to enrich our quality of life as a community and secure our young people’s future is by unleashing their capacity for innovative thinking, preparing them to be problem solvers in the 21st century. Numerous studies have reinforced what we see time and time again – when students experience information by engaging in the arts, it takes hold in their minds in ways nothing else can. Year after year, we see firsthand how the arts are so often a catalyst for extraordinary change in a child’s life. This year has been no exception. I trust these children will inspire you today. I encourage you to open your mind to the untold possibilities of their creativity and aspirations as you Stand Up, Stand Out! with them. Always onward,

Cathedral Arts Project

Mission & History The Cathedral Arts Project is the leading provider of comprehensive and ongoing instruction in the visual and performing arts for elementary and middle school students in Duval County. Our mission is to enrich the quality of life in Northeast Florida through unleashing the creative spirit of young people. By providing access to free standards-based instruction in the visual and performing arts, we empower underserved, schoolaged children to succeed in all areas of their lives. Our vision is for every child in Northeast Florida to have access to a well-rounded, arts-rich education that endows his or her spirit with the imagination, self-confidence and strength of character that inspires great leadership and a will to succeed not just in the classroom, but also in life. CAP began in 1993 at Jacksonville’s St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral as an afterschool dance class for 10 children from a nearby transitional housing facility. Between 1996 and 1999, a modest but energetic and dedicated staff brought new programs in visual arts, chorus, theatre and violin to nearly 20 elementary schools.

1993

CAP is founded by members of Jacksonville’s historic St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral to provide year-round dance programming to 10 children residing at an adjacent shelter.

1996 - 1999 CAP’s services grow to include year-round dance, violin and visual arts programs at 15 area elementary schools.

2000 - 2001 CAP incorporates, receives 501(c)(3) designation, and elects its first board of directors. CAP’s first annual showcase of performances and art exhibitions is held at Jacksonville’s historic Ritz Theatre and Museum.

Addressing its rapidly evolving needs, between 2000 and 2003 CAP acquired 501(c)(3) status, hired Kimberly L. Hyatt as President & CEO, and made classes twice-weekly. Now in its third decade of service, CAP has provided a quality arts education to over 25,000 K-8 students and garnered praise at local, state and national levels. The steady enrollment in CAP’s programs is due to the compelling nature of the curriculum, the quality of its 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.

Measurable Results CAP prides itself on using data and assessment tools to ensure the most effective programs possible. Among youth who participate in a year or more of CAP programs: • • •

94% demonstrate the skills needed to produce quality art or performance 87% increase active participation in the classroom 88% strengthen their task completion

2002

CAP hires its first full-time Executive Director, Rev. Kimberly Hyatt. Programming expands to include all four major artistic disciplines - dance, music, theatre and the visual arts. CAP receives its first National Endowment for the Arts grant award.

2003 - 2006

Programming is intensified to two afternoons each week throughout the year. Staff expands, adding one part-time and four full-time employees. The annual Guardian of the Arts Award is established.

2007 - 2009

CAP completes its first three-year Strategic Plan for 2007-2010 and receives an NEA Recovery Act grant that preserves 24 teaching artists’ jobs in Duval County.

2017 Showcase of the Arts • •

88% demonstrate improved communication skills 82% learn more effective strategies for expressing anger and resolving conflict

These results confirm what research shows about the benefits of arts education. Lower-income children who have opportunities to participate in the visual or performing arts typically demonstrate higher academic achievement, more civic engagement and volunteerism, and better employment and career outcomes.

Performance & Exhibition Showcasing student work is a mainstay of CAP programs, serving as a reward for students’ hard work and reinforcing the self-confidence and maturity fostered in classes. CAP students annually participate in at least two public exhibitions or performances. The Visual and Performing Arts Showcases are the ultimate finale for all CAP students. Each visual artist is allowed individual exhibition space and each musician, dancer and actor is given appropriate materials with which to perform. From new and properly-fitting dance shoes to

2010 - 2011

CAP plans and implements its first-ever summer camp program, reaching over 900 students. A new Strategic Plan is completed for 2010-2013. CAP continues to receive NEA grant funding.

2012

CAP is approved as an official partner organization of the Arts Education Partnership and begins a Community Arts Audit to assess the need of arts education in our community.

2013 - 2014

CAP celebrates its 20th anniversary and applies for the prestigious Kennedy Center’s Ensuring the Arts for Any Given Child initiative. Jacksonville is selected as the 14th AGC city, and CAP becomes the host organization for AGC Jax.

appropriately sized violins, CAP ensures all students who create works of art for the showcases are given every opportunity to shine. This is critical – for most students, it is their first time exhibiting a piece of art or performing on a professional stage.

Instruct. Instill. Inspire. Through a variety of offerings including afterschool, school day and summer programs, cultural experiences, advocacy, community partnerships and professional development for teachers and artists, CAP seeks to: •

•

Instruct using a standards-based curriculum that immerses students in the vocabulary, history and beauty of an art form. Instill through rigorous and sequential learning, building students’ skills over the course of a year. Inspire students by introducing professional, diverse, working artists through field trips to arts and culture venues and presentations at program sites. Provide gateway experiences to show students what a life informed by arts and culture looks and feels like.

2015

CAP relocates its administrative offices to the heart of Downtown Jacksonville, brings in recordbreaking funds at the 11th annual Spring for the Arts, and receives one of 15 collective impact grants from the NEA for its leadership of AGC Jax.

2016

CAP and AGC host Arts Education: Lift Every Voice, starting a community conversation about access to and equity in arts education for student of color. Community partnerships are expanded and CAP is approved as an official professional development provider for DCPS. The Jacksonville Business Journal names CAP one of the best places to work.

March 8, 2017 Dear Cathedral Arts Project Families and Friends, Welcome to the annual Showcase of the Arts! As educators and parents, we recognize that a quality education should include the arts both during the school day and after school. The district is committed to developing the "whole child" by providing students with opportunities to experience and explore beyond the core curriculum. By allowing them to engage with art, dance, music, theatre and other creative backgrounds, we are fostering self-confidence and inspiring creativity. Duval County Public Schools is proud to have the Cathedral Arts Project as a committed partner. The Cathedral Arts Project provides free, standards-based arts instruction to thousands of Duval County students each year through its afterschool and summer arts learning programs. Because of CAP, these students are exposed to arts learning experiences they might not otherwise have. DCPS continues to reinforce CAP's work by utilizing the STEAM Cultural Passport to provide students in Title I elementary schools with field trips to local cultural institutions. Additionally, this year we converted Ft. Caroline Middle School into a dedicated visual and performing arts academy, and next year a program called Lift Every Student, in partnership with Any Given Child Jacksonville and the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville, will place an artist in residence at four DCPS elementary schools - Hyde Park, Hyde Grove, John Love and S.P. Livingston - to collaborate with teachers and students on an arts integration project. Learning an art form allows children to gain essential skills, like creative thinking, perseverance, teamwork and self-discipline, that benefit them in all areas of their life. The arts provide experiences that are personally enriching, building the confidence and character students need to excel. I know you share my pride in these talented students. They have worked hard and earned the opportunity to demonstrate their talents at both the Visual and Performing Arts Showcases. We hope you enjoy these wonderful events.

COMMUNITY REPORT 2015-2016 Now in its third decade of service, the Cathedral Arts Project has served nearly 25,000 children in Northeast Florida. In 2015-2016, CAP was named one of only 50 finalists for the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, distinguishing it as “one of the top arts- and humanitiesbased programs in the country.” Several pilot programs were launched, including CAP Abilities, which provides arts instruction to students with specialized needs, and an innovative partnership with Duval County Public Schools to provide a theatre/civics arts integration afterschool program. In January 2016, as part of the Any Given Child Jacksonville initiative, CAP hosted Arts Education: Lift Every Voice, an event that created a community conversation about access to and equity in arts education for students of color. Community partnerships were expanded and CAP was approved as an official professional development provider for DCPS. President & CEO Kimberly Hyatt received a Boundless: 40 Years, 40 Icons award from the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Business Journal named CAP one of the best places to work.

“A Cathedral in My Heart” Frances Key, 2005

I learned to sing and the song set me free, I learned to dance and the dance gave me wings! I learned to paint on the canvas of life, And now I can see I have made a new start! There’s a cathedral in my heart, An open space of love and light! Yes, a cathedral rising high, A ray of hope within my life! I learned to play instruments on my own, I learned to read some musical notes, I learned to act on the stage with a smile, And all of these things made me feel like a star! There’s a cathedral in my heart, An open space of love and light! Yes, a cathedral rising high, A ray of hope within my life! Thank you for the gift! Thank you for the lift! Thank you, one and all, someday I’ll pass it on, Someday I will pass it on and on and on and on and on! Thank you! 24
