Chicago Arts Partnerships In Education

All cape students, artists and teachers create and take part in exhibitions and performances held at the cape gallery, located in the bridgeport neighborhood of chicago. The 4,000 square foot space hosts 5 main exhibitions per year, featuring work from cape's in-school, after-school, and parentartist programs. Students regularly visit the space to perform for each other and to reflect on their own learning as an artist. Cape hosts numerous events every year, including teacher workshops, artist conversations, panel discussions, and opening events. The cape gallery is a community space for the exploration and exhibition of arts-integrated learning.

Cape is continually learning and incorporating new strategies for improving educational opportunities for all students. Each cape program initiative includes a substantial research and evaluation component designed to build the capacity of teachers and teaching artists. Cape has brought a new level of understanding and innovation to the field of learning through the arts by regularly publishing and sharing its work. Cape's research has demonstrated that arts learning provides multiple benefits for students, teachers, artists, parents, and schools.
