Welcome to the Friends of Club 21 Arts Academy. At Friends of Club 21, our vision is that every individual with Down syndrome would flourish into his or her full potential and live an abundant life.

Our Arts Academy is a vibrant, inclusive space where those with Down syndrome and other special abilities, explore their creativity, build confidence, and express themselves through high-quality visual and performing arts programs.

We celebrate every person’s unique talents and empower them to shine—on stage, on canvas, and in life.

Empowering Classes

The Arts Academy aims to provide a platform where individuals with Down syndrome can showcase their abilities, build lasting friendships, and develop skills that extend beyond the stage.

A variety of classes offered spring and fall semesters in music, theater, dance, and visual arts.

Classes are one afternoon a week and Saturday mornings. Medicaid accepted and scholarships available.

A Place to Shine

Whether participants are taking their first steps on stage or honing their skills, the Arts Academy is a place where every person is valued, and every dream can take flight.

The fall semester culminates with a holiday variety show, Christmas This Year Holiday Spectacular and the spring semester with a family friendly musical & art show, tailored to nurture creativity and confidence.
