Academy at WEST
The mission of the Academy at WEST is to provide youth and families a creative outlet and training ground that cultivates and treasures the imaginative process. We provide educational experiences in literature, performing, expressive and creative arts through classes and productions. We give young artists and audiences the invaluable knowledge that their imaginations have had a positive and profound impact on their world.
All of our classes, training programs and productions are process-driven, believing that the creative journey is what matters. Using integrated art forms as our tools, we strive to build confidence, communication and community. We believe in the power of education and the importance of literacy.
The Academy at WEST is the artistic vision of Terri Steinmann: a place where young artists can explore the art of creativity together in a safe and welcoming environment. Fueled by the outpouring of support from the community, and the inspiration of the student’s thoughts, voices, talents and dedication, the Academy at WEST has assembled some of the brightest visionaries of our community and beyond. Academy students play a crucial role in developing programming and have an opportunity to mentor students and refine interpersonal skills that will carry them into young adulthood. The Academy at WEST is most proud of the friendships that form between students who would have otherwise not met. These friendships and experiences extend beyond the curtain and have lifelong effect on those involved.
