Financial contributions to the AVPA Foundation from parents, alumni families and community members are a critical part of the funding for this outstanding arts education program.
The contribution requested from each AVPA student’s family is $300 per year ($150 per semester). In reality, the AVPA Foundation needs to raise $600 per student per year on average. Your additional contribution is used to pay for workshops by guest artists, enrichment activities and field trips, transportation, production expenses, and supplies and materials. All students may participate in AVPA, regardless of any family’s ability to contribute.
