its beginnings as a summer performing arts camp
in 2004, the nonprofit has grown into a lively
center offering dynamic theater, music and dance
programs to 800 students ages 5-17 each year.
Instructors adapt college-level fine arts material

they gain teamwork, communication, public speaking
and social skills. The Arts & Learning Conservatory
makes hands-on experiences in the arts accessible
to all children, regardless of race, age, income
