Our Commitment to Arcadia High School Music Club

Supporting the arts is essential for fostering creativity, innovation, and cultural enrichment. We're excited to announce our donation of $10,000 to the Arcadia High School Music Club and proud to have our name showcased on their newly painted trailer that will carry the music into the future.

New LED Display for the Performing Arts Center

Part of our mission is to help with the maintenance and upkeep of the Arcadia Performing Arts Center. We recently donated a brand-new LED Display in the lobby which will help showcase upcoming events and announcements.

Mini Grants

We're in the process of awarding our annual mini grants to teachers who have applied for a range of needs to enhance their students' learning experiences. From performance gear to green screens, art supplies to instrument maintenance, wireless microphones to tuning devices, banking wheels for ceramics, and even supplies to make math and science more creative, we are proud to support our teachers' efforts in creating a well-rounded education for our students. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these efforts will have on our students' growth and development

Dear Foundation Supporter:
 
As we approach the end of another year, we hope that 2022 was rewarding and prosperous for you.
 
For the Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation, it was a year of reflection and rebuilding. We used the disruptive pandemic period to refocus and recommit to our original goals and mission. To that end, the Foundation continues to support the arts in multiple ways including student scholarships, teacher mini grants, helping to underwrite Arcadia’s famous Festival of Bands, and supporting student programs and performances.

We are also working diligently to bring back our concert series at the Arcadia Performance Arts Center to be announced in 2023. 
 
To continue the Foundation’s mission of supporting the arts and education in Arcadia and throughout our region, we ask that you consider a donation to support the work we are doing. 

Sincerely,

Gary Kovacic Jim Romo
President/ CEO Chairman of the Board

There is still time to make a tax-deductible donation to APAF! 
We know you have many options when it comes to your end-of-year giving.
Why not choose APAF? We are using your donations to directly impact student's lives through the Arts.

Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which makes all donations to us tax-deductible. Make your donations before December 31 to ensure that it can be deducted from this year's taxes.

We are a proud sponsor of the Festival of Bands. Apache News helped create an informational video
with Jim Romo and Gary Kovacic about the mission of our foundation.

We award mini-grants to teachers to introduce and cultivate the arts in classrooms throughout the district.

We awarded 10 scholarships to arts students in the Spring of 2022. 

We bring world-class entertainment to the community and provide students with opportunities to work with professionals. We were the official Entertainment Partner for the Downtown Arcadia Patriotic Festival on July 2, 2022. We hosted the Main Stage at First Avenue Middle School and gave Arcadia High School sax players the opportunity to perform with The Alumni Band, a veteran rock and roll band who are all graduates of Arcadia High School in the early 1970s. We also hosted an Entertainment Lounge featuring World Guitarist Roger Espinoza!

We contribute to the maintenance and up keep of the Arcadia Performing Arts Center, a state-of-the art venue.
