************************************************* 

Six times a day, Class Acts Arts artists unlock learning through music, dance, theater and visual arts, igniting new interest in the world and its diversity. For many children, this is their first experience of live performance.

Our teaching artists also go into many under-served communities, including juvenile and adult detention and correctional facilities, with remarkable and effective results.

Please use our secure Network for Good page to donate generously during our Winter Campaign.

We're Celebrating 15 Stellar Years 

Thank you to all the longtime and new friends who gathered to celebrate at our 15th anniversary party and fundraiser on November 7, hosted by our Board member Susan Nordeen.
We enjoyed the marvelous Latin American sounds of Cantaré, a spectacular performance by Native Pride Dancers, a World Craft Market courtesy of Kenya Connect, and tasty food from varied cultures.

The event raised over $9,000 to support our mission:  bringing interactive performances, workshops and residencies representing a broad range of artistic disciplines and cultural traditions into the community to strengthen education, stimulate creative self-expression, and inspire a fresh view of the world.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to a fun and successful evening.

First Lady Speaks Out in Support of Arts Education

"An educational foundation is only part of the equation," the first lady said at an East Room luncheon honoring the nation's top designers, winners of the 10th annual National Design awards. "In order for creativity to flourish and imagination to take hold, we also need to expose our children to the arts from a very young age."

Bridge Fund Launched! 

The Class Acts Arts Bridge Fund brings arts programs by Class Acts Arts' amazing teaching artists to under-served communities across our region. We are so thankful for the many donations that have come in from schools, individuals, and families.

Join our circle of passionate supporters of community arts, and help us to raise at least $5,000 to make this arts outreach possible.

Often as little as $200 stands in the way of closing the enrichment gap for children who do not have the opportunity to experience music, dance, theater and the visual arts.

Giving is easy. Access our donation page through Network for Good and request that your donation goes to the Bridge Fund!
