Driving Inspiration

We connect the Las Vegas arts community with students to help them spark a lifelong interest in the arts and explore creative careers. Together, we are driving artistic inspiration for public school students.

What We Do

We partner with entertainers and leaders in the Las Vegas arts community to help students in CCSD enrich their educational experience with access to the arts. We connect students to inspirational experiences including performing on the world-class stage at The Smith Center, exhibiting their artwork throughout the community, and curating art shows.

“There are statistics that student assessments are higher being involved in band, orchestra and choir. The arts cover all other core subject areas – math, English, science.”

Dr. Anthony Marentic, Principal, Advanced Technologies Academy
