Community Engagement & Events
Our goal is to help create, produce, and provide opportunities for local artists and creative minds to pursue their artistic endeavors with more visibility and community involvement. From the development of more performance opportunities and showcases, to providing funding and localizing a sustainable industry for artistic careers, The Capital District Arts Initiative is determined to provide agency and access for the creative seeds within all of us.

Art is all around us.
The expression and application of human creative skill and imagination exists in many different forms that are enmeshed in our every day lives. The CDAI wants to be a part of an ever-growing arts community and encourage more community engagement.
A few ways we see this being accomplished include, but are not limited to:
Connecting artists seeking collaborative opportunities
Establishing an event space for artists to make their work in a more affordable way
Host events including inter-disciplinary Improvisation Jam sessions, Open Mic Nights, and more
Community Outreach programs
Developing better Arts funding
