Support the Arts. Get involved!
To assist our gifted students in achieving their dreams, the College is lucky to have several groups of dedicated volunteers who are committed to our students. These diligent friends aid in audience development, raise funds for scholarships and educational travel expenses, and hold special events, such as strike parties, to enhance the student experience. We encourage you to make a financial contribution to support these worthy efforts and to get involved with one or more of these groups.
