y, OPS Dancing Classrooms and Arts for All.

little money, however, we managed to visit museums, libraries, and attend symphonies. I also took ballet, tap, and piano lessons. As I grew older, I sang in choirs and small ensembles and won art recognition in high school. After studying the piano for ten years, I  played for churches, accompanied musical groups, and play, even today, for my own enjoyment. When I entered college, I decided to focus on the visual arts. I believe the arts need to be part of every school curriculum and part of everyone’s life. Helping others to develop imagination and creativity is a driving force for me, supported by involvement with the arts. I believe everyone can develop creativity and imagination. These skills are crucial for individuals and society. Even Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” I certainly agree. Therefore, it is my mission to make the arts available and affordable for all. As much as I want others to experience the arts, I support artists, dancers, musicians, composers, writers, and vocalists. Without these artists who are willing to share their love, passion, talent, and skill we would not have a program. They are a blessing.
