"I really like the classes the foundation has because I learn a lot. Without them I wouldn't know English and I wouldn't have realized that I want to be an art teacher when I grow up."

Art Program Background
CONTEMPORARY ART & COMMUNITY PROGRAM (CACP)
The Contemporary Art & Community Program (CACP), which commenced in the summer of 2013 & ended in 2020, focused on collaborations with local schools to produce workshops that are the essential element of cultural exchange in our artist residencies. Each artist spent at least one month in the area, with transportation, accommodations, studio workspace, and stipend provided. They had the option of staging an exhibition, discussion, performance, or screening for the public in the Careyes Art Space or adjacent plaza. This event was also broadcast online to an international network that includes a wide audience of visual arts professionals.
Lauri Firstenberg of LA><ART served as curator of the CACP from 2013 to 2015, with Juan A. Gaitán taking over for 2016.
