Celebrate the artist in every child

FAME is proud to provide elementary and middle school students with opportunities to create, exhibit, and perform works of art outside the classroom, nurturing creativity, confidence, and cultural understanding at every step.

Each year, FAME programs reach over 150,000 students and their families through performances, exhibitions, camp, and hands-on arts education. Since our founding in 1986, we’ve inspired more than four million people across the region through the power of the arts.

This incredible impact is made possible by a dedicated network of teachers, school administrators, business partners, foundations, community arts organizations, and generous supporters like you.
