We’re excited to introduce Mind-Builders Arts Discovery Week! This special week, replacing our annual Open House Street Festival, is all about discovering and nurturing artistic passions.

Why You and Your Family Will Love It:
- Hands-On Fun: Dive into over 20 demo classes and workshops in theater, music, dance, and more. It’s the perfect opportunity for your entire family to try something new or fall in love with an art form.
- Meet the Team: Get to know our passionate and talented faculty who are dedicated to inspiring every student.
- See the Possibilities: Watch performances by our amazing students—your child might be inspired to take the stage one day!
- Stories of Transformation: Hear from our alumni as they share how the arts have changed their lives and fueled their passions.
- Personalized Guidance: We’re here to help with any questions about registration, tuition assistance, and scholarship opportunities, ensuring every family can participate.
This FREE event is open to everyone, from the tiniest 3 ½-year-olds to those young at heart at 65+. Whether you join us for a single day, an afternoon session, or the entire week, we can’t wait to explore the arts with you and your family.
