I had an amazing experience at this arts school! From the moment I walked through the door, I felt inspired by the creativity and talent all around me. The faculty and staff were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing me to be my best and never giving up on me. Not only did I develop my artistic skills in ways I never imagined, but I also made lasting friendships with fellow students who share my passion for the arts. The resources and opportunities available at this school are unparalleled, and I feel so grateful to have been a part of such a vibrant and welcoming community. I would highly recommend this arts school to anyone looking to grow their talents and discover their potential as an artist.
An important part of SPCPA’s purpose is to connect the students and the school to the Twin Cities professional arts community in a number of ways.

We were thrilled to have MN State Representative Athena Hollins (District 66B) come to speak to Government classes this past Tuesday! She offered insights into policymaking at the legislature, the process of state legislative campaigns, how she got into politics, and the most challenging and rewarding parts of being a legislator. Students have been learning about state government structures and political participation in class, and it was so valuable to get to spend time with someone actively involved in this work.
Thank you, Athena Hollins!
