Outreach

At the Foundation of Arts, we believe that quality arts programming should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial status, background, or previous experience. Our outreach programs are designed to foster creativity, promote inclusion, and make meaningful artistic experiences available to all members of our community. From children to adults, beginners to seasoned artists, we offer a wide range of initiatives that break down barriers to participation in the arts.

We are deeply committed to making the arts a vital part of life in Northeast Arkansas, enriching the cultural fabric of our region and increasing opportunities for personal growth through artistic expression.

Learning Expression through Arts Programming (LEAP)

The LEAP program is a unique initiative designed to bring the arts into the lives of adults with disabilities.

Pay What You Can Performances (PWYCP)

The PWYCP initiative allows participants to attend productions at an affordable price, ensuring that financial constraints don’t limit access.

The Dance Again Closet

The Dance Again Closet provides gently used dancewear to those in need, ensuring that all students have the proper shoes and attire to participate in dance and performance classes.

Forum Exhibit Artist

Each month, we feature local and regional artists through our Forum Exhibit Artist program, offering artists the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional setting. This initiative supports the arts community while making art accessible to the public.

Tuition Assistance Program

The Tuition Assistance Program is designed to help individuals and families with financial needs access arts classes, camps, and workshops. Our goal is to make sure that no one is left out due to financial constraints.

Educational Enrichment Series (EES)

Our Educational Enrichment Series offers private matinee field trips for area teachers and students. It’s the opportunity to enjoy a quality live theater production at a reduced cost!

Support the FOA

Our outreach initiatives rely on the generous support of people like you. Whether through monetary donations, volunteering, or in-kind contributions, you can make a lasting impact and ensure that the arts remain accessible to everyone in our community.
