Dear Friends of Fine Arts, 

Since 1979, Denison Performing Arts has partnered with the school and community to provide an excellent variety of interactive programs and educational experiences to enrich the lives of children in our area.   Members and donors have continuously worked to offer these activities to Denison students while fulfilling our mission to promote fine arts.

“The arts have been shown to reach students that don’t learn well through traditional methods, sparking an interest in learning and academic achievement. Increased school attendance, civic engagement, and decrease anti-social behaviors have all been linked to arts education.”
