The mission of the Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation (APAF) is to support the Arcadia Performing Arts Center, arts education in Arcadia Unified School District, and cultivation of the arts in our community. We believe that student art is essential in fostering creative and innovative thoughts. We support programs that introduce and cultivate the arts for all our students. In 2019, APAF was recognized by the Forbes Nonprofit Council for its positive impact on the community.
Since 2012, APAF has brought many world-class performers to our community including Paul Anka, Herb Alpert and Lani Hall, Four Tops, Temptations, Vicki Lawrence, Air Supply, Hiroshima, Steve Tyrell, Danny Seraphine, Bill Champlin, and Daniel Ho. In addition, APAF’s Gala Concerts, Arcadia Classical Series, and Summer Family Fun Series have promoted arts and culture in our community and provided students with invaluable opportunities to work with professionals.
“What the Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation and its board have done to bring our community together and give students professional experiences is truly extraordinary.”
