            ~The Art of Making a Difference


We so appreciate all the people and organizations  who help us exist to make a difference,  and as is stated in our mission:   " empower lives through the arts".  We are seeing this in so many  of our programs.

- The self confidence that is found in theater, especially a smaller theater program like ours where everyone has an important part and becomes  part of the cast "family" and can get individual help to develop acting and singing talents
-The joy of creating something fun and new

-The joy of learning new art techniques and having your
      drawing turn out as intended

-The fun of being needed as a volunteer teen and
      helping different organizations around town or
      running a kids activity day 
-Learning to sing a solo on a microphone and get up in front
      of an audience knowing it will sound great

- Free access to inspiring professional  Friday evening concerts 6-7 months a year. 


Our motivation to start this non-profit organization was to provide a safe, positive and artistic outlet for the teens in our community, especially those from low income homes. Because we wanted teens to see art as beneficial and  powerful at any age, we decided to promote arts opportunities  for all ages from preschool to older adults.  We  see art as a community building  tool that can bring families together, give young moms a chance to get out, encourage youth to work with each other, and inspire creativity in all ages. 


Please help us continue this opportunity and movement.    Donate, Volunteer, or Get involved!
