Mission
The mission of the Clark Atlanta University (CAU) Guild is to support a scholarship program for students in Visual and Performing Arts, Fashion, Music, Theatre, Mass Media Arts CAUTV, Film, and Recording & Studio Arts.
Purpose
The purpose of this organization is to develop a diverse group of volunteer women who will commit their time and resources to build awareness of the University’s art, music, theatre and film programs.
Specifically, the Guild will actively raise scholarship funds for students participating in the arts, theatre, music, fashion and film at the University. While there may be several events in which financial support will be solicited, the Guild’s primary fundraising event is its annual “Jazz Under the Stars” (JUTS) concert.
