About

CAPA enriches lives by cultivating and nurturing the arts, spreading an appreciation that CAN be FELT in hearts, minds and the economy of our communities. We accomplish our mission through our four strategic pillars: (1) as an arts leader by supporting sustainability and collaborating with arts groups to raise the arts profile in our community; (2) as a dynamic presenter of exceptional arts programming that challenges, inspires, entertains, and engages audiences; (3) through education and outreach that provides community access to programs that promote the appreciation of the performing arts and augment other arts education efforts; and (4) through stewardship of performing arts spaces offering transformational experiences for visitors, artists, and renters by providing and operating first-class performing arts spaces and preserving historic theatres
