About Paso Robles Youth Arts Center
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center has been offering free visual and performing arts classes to children aged 5 to 18 since 1998. Founded by artist and philanthropist Donna Berg, the nonprofit aims to provide a safe space for all children in Paso Robles and surrounding areas to learn and participate in the arts, irrespective of their socioeconomic status.
By fostering the arts and self-expression, the youth arts center provides a creative outlet for young people to navigate life’s challenges positively. The organization has supported over 10,000 students in finding their voices, building confidence, pursuing higher education, and steering clear of negative influences such as gangs. The programs, covering art, dance, music, theatre, and creative enrichment, including video production, digital music creation, and culinary arts, are offered at no cost to all enrolled students.
The youth arts center relies on private support from generous donors who recognize the positive impact of arts education on the well-being of community youth. More information is available at pryoutharts.org.
