🎨✨ Art with Heart is almost here!

Join us on Saturday, December 6, 1–3 PM at our Green Street office for our annual Teen Art Show Fundraiser, made possible by The Hench Foundation. Celebrate our teens’ creativity, enjoy original artwork, and connect with the amazing young artists and families who make PCDA such a special community.

After the show, stay for a warm post-show reception where everyone can mingle and celebrate our teen artists together.

This year is extra special because it’s the first time the show will also serve as a fundraiser, supporting next year’s teen program. Every suggested donation helps our teens keep creating and expressing themselves through art.

We can’t wait to see you there! 💛

🎶 What an incredible Fall Recital! 🎶

On November 15, our Green St building was buzzing with energy as our performers lit up the room (and screens!) with a fantastic mix of live and digital performances. We are so proud of every young person who shared their talents, tried something new, and shined so brightly.

To all the families who support and encourage their children every day — thank you. Your partnership makes moments like this possible.

Huge cheers for our amazing Creative Arts team, our dedicated staff, and the young adults who helped bring everything together. Your creativity, teamwork, and heart made this celebration unforgettable.

Here’s to more music, more joy, and more moments of connection! 💛🎤🎹
