Arts for All
A Word of Welcome
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Phoenix Arts.
The arts have never been more important. It's a tough world where family and community struggle to thrive at times. The arts are a way of connecting, creating and finding a voice. Even better, the arts are FUN!
Sadly, the arts are being squeezed out of mainstream education. And that's where we come in. As a place that's safe, happy, creative and accessible, we offer opportunities to perform no matter what your background. We are inclusive and diverse and we want to share the making of great memories.
With all of the exciting plans we're preparing, the opportunities opening up and the suggestions we've had, I can't wait to see what Phoenix Arts will create in coming months.
In the meantime, thanks for your interest. See you soon!
