“A Celebration of Creativity, Confidence, and Opportunity”

Join JDS Creative Academy on August 21 for an unforgettable evening showcasing the transformative power of the arts.

Arts Across the Academy is a one-night-only variety showcase inspired by the spirit of inclusion and community celebrated through events such as Laughs on the Spectrum, featuring performances, multimedia presentations, and inspiring stories from participants in our Title 17 Job Training Program and students enrolled in our theater, filmmaking, backstage production, and digital media programs. The evening celebrates achievement, inclusion, and the extraordinary potential that emerges when creativity is nurtured and opportunities are made accessible.

Proceeds from this special event support scholarships, arts education programs, workforce training, production equipment, and career development opportunities that help participants gain the skills needed to thrive in today's creative and technology-driven economy.

Join us as we celebrate talent, build community, and create opportunities for the next generation of creators, innovators, and leaders.

Because when you invest in the arts, you invest in people.&nbsp; And when you invest in people, you invest in the future.

Experience an afternoon of joyful music featuring renowned Klezmer musicians Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi. Presented by the Holocaust Remembrance Foundation of the Valley (hrfv.org), this special concert invites you to celebrate tradition and share joy for $36 per ticket.So what is Klezmer music you ask? It is the musical equivalent of a Jewish family gathering - one minute it's laughing, the next it's crying, and somehow it's dancing the whole time.
Originating in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, Klezmer blends joyful melodies, soulful sighs, foot-stomping rhythms, and plenty of spirited improvisation. The clarinet often steals the show, sounding as if it's telling a funny story, sharing a heartfelt memory, and inviting everyone onto the dance floor all at once.
Doors open at 3:30 pm. We hope to see you there!
