About the Clear Space Arts Institute

Offering arts-based learning to people of all ages has always been at the forefront of the mission of Clear Space Theatre Company. Our community thrives when young people are connected to the arts, enabling them to benefit from not only the tangible gifts the arts provide, but also key intangible benefits like empathy, creative and critical thinking, social/emotional awareness, and more. For retired adults in our community, Arts Institute classes provide similar benefits. At every age, the Arts Institute creates community and inspires a life-long love of the arts.  Arts Institute programs are designed to move students, of all ages and ability levels, through a logical progression of learning that will allow a sense of self-confidence and ownership of the performing arts. Take a class and enjoy the process!
