ACADEMY
Where Art Inspires Change
Improving and sustaining arts education for those who need us most.
​
The Arts Academy was founded in 2013 in order to provide our Club youth with expert instruction options in fine arts, music, dance, recording arts, film production, photography, 3D modeling, video game design and graphic arts.
​
Arts Academy offers extended instruction, field trips, and hands-on experiences that go beyond the standard arts programming.
ART MAKES A REAL IMPACT
The Arts Academy program offers expert instruction in music, fine arts, dace, 3D modeling, video game design, animation, film production, and audio recording. The program provides daily arts education and fills the gap left by continuing cuts of art classes and related activities at local public schools. Our Arts Academy operates Monday through Friday with valuable opportunities free of charge
to at-risk youth.
