Celebrating Our 2024 Season: A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Sponsors
As we reflect on another year, we are filled with gratitude for the community of supporters and sponsors who made 2024 an unforgettable success. Together, we have brought the transformative power of the arts to life through innovative programming, inspiring performances, and impactful education initiatives.
This year, our journey was supported and enriched by our sponsors. Below, we celebrate their contributions and share a glimpse into their inspiring work.
Transformative Funding and Support
A special acknowledgment goes to the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Their generous funding allowed us to produce the magical Into the Light, engage our community through the SummerDance Variety Show, and continue our mission to bring high-quality arts programming to underserved areas.

We are also deeply grateful to Arts Mid-Hudson for their commitment to fostering the arts in our region. Their support was pivotal in expanding our work in underfunded schools, creating opportunities for young learners to experience the transformative power of music, dance, and storytelling.
