Please join us in a celebration of Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education!

CAPE advances the arts as a vital strategy for improving teaching and learning by increasing students’ capacity for academic success, critical thinking and creativity. Since 1992, CAPE has provided opportunities for thousands of students in Chicago Public Schools to learn through the arts.

This year’s Toast to CAPE is set within Convergence 09: at the juncture of arts and learning, CAPE’s annual showcase of student artwork from our Veteran Partnerships. A silent auction featuring artwork by CAPE students, teaching artists and staff will raise funds for our programs and services. A selection of hors d’oeuvres and wines will be served.
