HEARTS FOR THE ARTS
We believe that immersion in live experiences at a performing arts center makes a significant difference in the lives of those who would otherwise not be able to share in these joys. With your help, we can make the arts accessible to underserved communities. Together, we can use the power of the arts to inspire, heal and uplift those in need.
