Thank you for your support of The Arts Experience. Thanks to special friends like you, more than 600 youth and two school systems participate in our arts education programs annually.  Studies show that children who are educated in the arts do better in school, are more likely to score well on standardized tests, and are less likely to become involved in drugs and related violence. TAE work is one-on-one with area youth in an effort to promote cultural understanding, build self-confidence and to encourage self-expression and creativity through the arts.   

More than one-third of the youth participating in our programs required tuition assistance last year. Your help is needed to continue to keep programs affordable and available to youth from all walks of life – regardless of their economic, cultural or religious backgrounds.  And because of generous donations from our contributors, No child has ever been turned away for inability to pay participation fees. 

Please help us make a difference for the children of our community by supporting our Scholarship Outreach Program.  If you would like to become one of our supporters who donate quarterly or bi-annually, please note this with your gift. Your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law, and will make a lasting impact of a child’s life. The children of our community thank you as well. They are the true beneficiaries of your generosity.
