Get an Artsy Summer with CalArts
The CAP Summer Arts Program (CAPSA) is a free, three week-long intensive summer arts program for experienced young artists entering grades 10, 11, 12 or graduating high school in June 2011.
This wonderful program is now accepting applications for the 2011 CAP Summer Arts Program (CAPSA) and is aimed for young artists interested in further exploring their art form, building their artistic skills and deepening their cultural understanding and personal expression in one of five art disciplines: Creative Writing, Dance, Film/Video, Music, and Visual Arts.

The CAP Summer Arts Program is led by outstanding artists on faculty at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and CalArts student instructors who guide students through exciting and creative experimentation in the arts. The program, now in its 7th year, will offer workshops in 8 disciplines: Animation, Creative Writing, Dance, Digital Filmmaking, Music, Photography, Theater, and the Visual Arts. The program takes place in July and culminates with performances and exhibitions.
The students will also visit some of the leading art institutions throughout Los Angeles, experience the work of visiting artists, and learn about college applications and financial aid programs.
The CalArts Community Arts Partnership (CAP), a program of the California Institute of the Arts, has created innovative learning environments that nurture and develop young people’s creative potential for 21 years. Serving more than 60 neighborhoods, CAP ensures equity in education by helping students gain access to arts learning opportunities where they live.
The CAP Summer Arts Program will be taking place for the first time at Central Los Angeles High School #9 for the Visual and Performing Arts in downtown at 450 North Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, 90012.
