CAPS is a 42-year program which places professional artists in public and private classrooms throughout Durham, Granville, and Orange counties. CAPS impacts the lives of over 20,000 students each year. Children in these counties will be able to experience two of our programs "The Young Herpetologist" and "Frogs and the Fabulous Life Cycle".
