Weekly classes in fine arts. Each week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we offer a variety of classes that impact students ages 1.5 to 64. Class size varies and the genre ranges from dance forms to acting to singing to culinary arts as well as visual arts.
WE also did COMMUNITY SHOWS which gave our students opportunities to both face their fears and show off their talents. They spent time working as a team from the beginning stages to the final product. Relying on one another even though their cultures were different, the goal was the same.
We offer a scholarship program to anyone who does not have the means to attend any classes. We fund this by an annual Gala.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
