Our Community

Here at Inspiration Performing Arts Center, we are more than the dancing, acting, singing and crafting…we are all about making a difference in our community!  It is our belief that arts education brings people together, inspires the soul, and grants freedom for expression.  We find great joy in partnering with local organizations in need, offering mentoring programs to our students, and giving through philanthropic works.

Please check out our Community Partners here (whether near or far, they are close to our heart!):
