Our mission is to inspire creativity, self-expression, and artistic growth in young people through a dynamic summer arts program.
We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where students not only develop their skills in the performing arts, but also grow in confidence, resilience, teamwork, and integrity - qualities that will serve them both on and off the stage.
Donations of any size help our students.
These are just a few examples of what your donation means to our program.
$25 can provide one week of activities for an elementary SPA student or
a Bands on the Red student.
$50 can provide tickets to underprivileged and under-served families and
individuals to attend each of our SPA performances. It can also ensure our
fixed-income students in the MySPA program a full week of activities.
$100 can ensure that a Middle School or High School SPA student can participate in all activities the SPA has to offer for the entire summer.
$250 can cover the costs of an “After-SPA” activity, where over 150 students can be involved in a fun, safe, and positive environment.
$500 can ensure that SPA students are able to work with professional artists and perform with state-of-the art technical equipment.
$1,000 can sponsor half of all scholarship needs for the Elementary SPA program, or it can sponsor the pit orchestra for a High School performance.
Remember, a donation in ANY amount will help shape the lives and make a difference in our students’ lives.
