The California Arts Project (TCAP) is the state’s subject matter project in Visual and Performing Arts. TCAP’s central mission is to deepen teachers’ knowledge of dance, music, theatre, and visual art, to enhance student success pre-kindergarten through post-secondary, and develop instructional strategies to support the Visual & Performing Arts Content Standards For California Public Schools, and the state VAPA Framework. TCAP’s regional sites throughout the state offer a variety of professional development programs that work in partnership with schools, districts, County Offices of Education, and arts organizations, to ensure the highest quality arts instruction for all students.
The California Arts Project offers a number of programs year round. Please
