Booking An Artist Through the Community Artist Program (CAP)
The Community Arts Program provides funding to culturally specific individual artists and cultural organizations to teach, perform, and exhibit at facilities all around the City of Dallas.
CAP is all about encouraging collaborations between artists and communities. You book the services and OAC pays their fee.
