Welcome to the Creative Arts Academy

In 2007, after realizing the lack of the performing arts in the lives of elementary school children in Manatee County, Florida, Creative Percussion Ensemble, a private organization was established. Creative Percussion Ensemble reached out to a community of diverse backgrounds and provide a positive experience for children in low social-economic families. In December 2013 we ammended our non-profit organization to Creative Arts Academy which now includes dancing and theatre. Creative Arts Academy is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity.

Mission
Our mission is to empower young people (5-17) through performing arts, literal arts, and visual arts.
