A New Initiative
THE SERVICE CONNECTION!
Since 1970, Cooperative Artists Institute (CAI) has been developing
and delivering programs and services that use performing and visual
arts to bring people together. CAI's mission is to build community
and help people and organizations solve problems, especially those
relating to community and family fragmentation in our society. During
our 31 year history, we have worked with, and used the services
of, many artists and creative people who are compassionate and caring
about what they do and how they do it. CAI's Service Connection
offers you a way to let people in the larger CAI Community know
about your work and what services you offer. And it offers our mailing
list of 7000 supporters a direct link to dependable, quality services
ranging from graphic design, organizational development and management,
personalized art commissions, writing/editing services, etc. Our
hope is to build links between CAI Associates interested in expanding
their access to new clients, and CAI supporters looking for quality
services at a fair price from people who also have a connection
with CAI and our mission of building community.
