CAPAC's mission is to provide educational excellence, enrichment and quality entertainment through the arts while inspiring the community to participate in cultural diversity. CAPAC Mission is demonstrated through the following:
- Showcasing Visual and Performing Arts
- Involving Children, Teens and Adults
- Providing Arts Resources
- Understanding Arts Enrichment
CAPAC'S history - CAPAC began March 16, 2002, in Prince William County, Virginia, by a group of concerned citizens. The CAPAC Board of Directors is comprised of citizens throughout the greater Washington, DC, area who understand the need for diversity and artistic enrichment in Prince William County and surrounding areas. The individuals believed something should be done to provide cultural diversity in performing and visual arts in the Greater Prince William County area. From a great deal of discussion by the group, the collective opinion was to start a performing and visual arts program. This program would be active year-round.
Originally recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable establishment in February 2004, CAPAC is an organization for people who love the arts. It is designed for the enjoyment of all people. As an arts institute CAPAC provides programming for children, teens and adults. The programs include drama, dance and art workshops, plays, poetry readings, auditions, musicals, recitals, arts festivals and more. The programs will enhance the poem within, the vision in a painting, the movement in dance, the melody of a song and the feeling of self expression.
