ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS
LoVeArts
LoVeArts Foundation, founded in 2006 by Vanetta Wood and Vonetta Boggs, is dedicated to fostering children’s interests and education in the arts. Rather than seeking funding through grants and scholarships, they believe it's more beneficial for children’s education to be supported and directly funded by their community.
In their effort to support this goal, they regularly host a series of performance showcases to raise funding for dance school scholarships, visual arts classes, music lessons and acting lessons. Performers are asked to participate solely out of their love of children, the arts and education.
On Point Student Dance Company
Based out of Pointe Flex Dance Studio, On Pointe Student Dance Company, Inc. is a nonprofit traveling dance company for the youth.
