Some of the most important programs at PenArts Inc. are our community outreach events and programs. We offer classes in dance, theatre, and music to youth in the Pensacola area. We teach dancing, singing, and acting classes to students in a local elementary school. We host annual Youth Talent Shows and Youth Art Shows.
We are always looking for more ways to reach the community and are constantly expanding our efforts.
