Inclusive and affirming arts community that welcomes all and intentionally empowers disenfranchised, underrepresented, marginalized, and underserved communities Rising Voices Arts Community is an inclusive and affirming arts community that welcomes all and intentionally empowers disenfranchised, underrepresented, marginalized, and underserved communities by teaching students to find and amplify their voices through theatre and the arts. We provide a self-sufficient and enduring community that prepares students to use their voices to navigate an unknown and challenging future. We address the challenging issues relevant to our students and communities, providing a space that allows respectful discourse through art, even when that discourse is difficult.
