Our Mission and History
SPACE's mission is to empower our youth to discover and trust in their innate ability to be creative, responsible and compassionate individuals through effective training in dance, theater, music and cultural education.
Our program emphasizes diversity, youth leadership, cross-cultual arts, social issues, and exemplary training in the arts. The curriculum may address issues of social, environmental and cultural awareness and activism such as distribution of resources, unlearning racism, gender stereotyping and/or sexual orientation.
After collaborating for ten years directing Performing Arts Summer Camp and other projects, Laurel Near & Paulette Arnold founded Near & Arnold's School of Performing Arts & Cultural Education in 1995. Both women have been teaching young people since 1981.
All our staff are experienced performing arts educators or practicing artists. They are selected for their special ability to relate to young people's training, social and developmental needs. We are also proud of our "Teacher Training & Youth Leadership Program" which nurtures young people who have the skills and interest to become teachers.
