The 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.
