ABOUT Creative and Performing Arts Center Inc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPAC'S Mission StatementThe Creative And Performing Arts Center (CAPAC) provides underrepresented youth and adults with educational opportunities in theater and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to promote problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership skills. CAPAC'S HistoryIn 2002, interest groups in Prince William County, Virginia, and nearby areas set out to increase
educational and artistic opportunities for black and brown youth and adults. The result was
CAPAC, the Creative And Performing Arts Center. After nearly two decades of landmark African
American drama, music, and dance, CAPAC now includes science, technology, engineering, and math
(STEM). Known as STEAM, this mixture provides an approach to education that melds the arts and
the STEM disciplines. This enlarged focus not only enriches learning experiences and
environments but also helps increase the pool of underrepresented young people entering STEM
fields. While remaining true to its original focus on black and brown cultures, CAPAC welcomes
all who love and participate in the arts. Such inclusiveness, we believe, strengthens awareness
of humanity's common bonds and contributes to productive understanding among cultures.
