Kids need the arts like cakes need icing. (And there can never be too much icing.) So we provide extraordinary Visual and Performing Arts opportunities for young people ages 2 to 19 to find their voice and develop self-confidence. As a not-for-profit, we value, support, and encourage diversity in our classrooms and in creative expression. Here, everyone is free to be free.
