In a world where funding for the arts is constantly being cut, the importance of after-school programs dedicated to Dance and Drama cannot be understated.

At Art-E Foundation, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to discover performing arts and have fun singing, dancing and acting! Our Dance and Drama Program does just that. Through the power of the performing arts, we create a safe, inclusive space where children can develop their confidence and ignite a lifelong passion for the arts.

We currently receive state funding and this funding is a testament to the importance of our work and the impact we have on the lives of young people in our communities. While state funds help us cover essential operational costs, they are not sufficient to fully meet the diverse needs of our program. That's where you come in. Any amount you’re able to contribute enable us to enhance our programming, support our dedicated staff, and ensure that every child has access to the tools they need to succeed. Thank you for considering Art-E Foundation for your donation and believing in our vision. Your support is invaluable and will make a difference in the children’s lives in our communities. We are truly grateful.

Facts, Data & Testimonials:

The Dance and Drama Program grew considerably from it’s first season. In the 2022-23 school year, we had a bit over 1100 students enrolled. In the 2023-24 school year, we grew to 1590! That's a 33.17% growth!

The kids and families LOVE it too. Read some of their words:
