The Heart Behind ArtSpireVa
“ArtSpireVa was born from a realization that too many young people are missing out on the transformative power of the arts simply because they lack access. Year after year, I watched young women step onto the floor for high school dance team tryouts, only to walk away because they had never had the chance to train. I knew this wasn’t just a dance problem—it was happening across all artistic disciplines.…”
Gennifer Difilippo, Director
