Cultural Arts

NISRA provides both visual and performing arts programs and events. In the Sage Therapeutic Recreation Center Art Studio and on stage, participants in NISRA’s visual arts & performing arts programs benefit from the teaching & guidance of professional artists. The budding artists acquire techniques and resources to further develop their talent.

NISRA’s vision for cultural arts is: to nurture an appreciation of, and passion for, the arts; to introduce new art media & techniques to the artists; and to advance each artist’s skills so that he/she may pursue artistic endeavors independently…for lifelong enjoyment!
