Central Park Performing Arts Center

The Central Park Performing Arts Center is committed to offering exceptional performing arts experiences that spark creativity, build confidence, and foster community pride. The Central Park Performing Arts Foundation's continued support makes these opportunities possible.

Investing in youth access to the arts is a powerful way to shape brighter futures. Research shows that students involved in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and twice as likely to graduate from college—especially among low-income populations. Beyond watching performances, the true impact comes from participation. When young people are given the chance to engage, create, and perform, they grow into more confident, connected adults who are better prepared to contribute to their communities.
