How You Can Help

Right now, community support matters more than ever.

Here’s how you can make an impact:

Attend ELEVATE. Bring friends, family, or colleagues. Every ticket supports student artists and the programs that shape them.

Become a sustaining donor. Even $25/month helps fund guest artists, performances, and essential studio materials.

Sponsor student experiences. Events like Prom, Graduation, and senior showcases rely on community support to continue. Contact Director of Advancement Scott Stewart for more information. 

Spread the word. Encourage young artists to apply. Enrollment growth is one of the most powerful ways to secure The Academy’s future. Opportunities exist for middle school students, high school students, and postgraduate learning. 

Give what you can. Nearly half of The Academy’s annual budget is supported by donations. Every gift directly impacts students.

Thank you to Matt and the NBC team, as well as our community, for all the support you’ve shown and continue to show.
