“The Caponi Art Park experience has changed students perspective of art. They're able to view artwork of all types through a different lens.  It's inspiring to see students apply their learning to other school projects months later.”

-Cara Slattery, Rahn Elementary School Arts & Technology Magnet Program Coordinator, District 191



"Thank you Mr. Caponi for everything. Your sculptures are great and your plants are great too. The park is beautiful."

–Danny, Cedar Park Elementary 1st grader
