The California Arts Project (TCAP) is the state's subject matter project in Visual and Performing Arts. TCAP's central mission is to deepen teachers' knowledge of dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, and to enhance instructional strategies for teaching these four disciplines to California's students, pre-kindergarten through postsecondary.

Along with the other California Subject Matter Projects, TCAP is responsible for carrying out the Vision at the core of AB 1734, the legislation that redefined the California Subject Matter Project network in 1998.

Although not funded by this legislation, TCAP is one of three projects funded directly by the University of California that are held accountable to the same standards as the projects specifically mentioned in the legislation.   More detail...
