Booki​ng​​ an artist through the Community Artist Program (CAP)

The Community Artist Program, now under the Cultural Funding Programs Division​ provides artistic and cultural services to Dallas communities by individual artists and nonprofit organizations to teach, perform, and exhibit at host facilities in neighborhoods around the City of Dallas. CAP fosters collaborations between artists and communities and deepens residents understanding of diverse art forms. Through these partnerships, the program celebrates the rich traditions that make up the fabric of Dallas. Services from CAP artists and organizations are provided on an as-needed basis.​
