Founded by lifelong artists and Broadway professionals who have experienced firsthand the extraordinary power of performing and creating, Empire Arts was created to bring those experiences to more people, especially young people who may not otherwise have access to them.

​

What began with a passion for connecting students and communities through music, theatre, and dance has grown into a vision for accessible, meaningful arts experiences throughout New York’s Capital District. We partner with schools, artists, educators, musicians, and communities to create programs that invite people to step forward, take creative risks, discover new strengths, and experience the power of making something together.
