. At our academy, we strive to provide an exceptional Art Education curriculum, tailored to the individual needs of each student. We believe that the Western Art tradition has much to offer, and our teachers provide comprehensive instruction in the classic practice of drawing. This method encourages students to see, interpret, and apply the appropriate marks to recreate an observed phenomena. We also explore other art activities, such as imaginative interpretation, philosophy of esthetics, ontology, semantics, studio praxis, and phenomenology. Our approach puts emphasis on stimulating the creative abilities of the right hemisphere of the brain, and encourages students to create their own works of art while appreciating the work of their peers.

Our mission is to foster the growth of young people through the performing arts and offer opportunities for all, especially underserved and at-risk youth, in order to build a genuinely multiracial, multicultural society. Our theater provides young people with a platform to express themselves and explore their creativity in a safe, nurturing environment. We strive to ensure that all of our programs are accessible and equitable, allowing us to reach and serve those who need it most. We are here to create a space for young people to explore and practice the performing arts, while also fostering empathy in our communities and inspiring positive social change. We are dedicated to providing high-quality theater experiences for young people, as well as promoting the development of a truly diverse and inclusive society. We believe that through the performing arts, young people can gain valuable life skills, practice empathy, and build meaningful connections with others. We are committed to finding innovative ways to bridge the gap between underserved and at-risk youth and the performing arts, allowing all to explore and benefit from the power of the theater.
