MANSFIELD – Richland Academy of the Arts (RAA) invites community members to “Salsa for Scholarships,” a drop-in energizing, aerobic salsa class on Thursday, July 30 from 5:15 to 6 p.m. at 75 N Walnut St., Mansfield.
For a $5 drop-in fee, participants will “shake it” with Marden while learning salsa steps and grooving to Latin rhythms.
All proceeds from this special event directly benefit RAA’s Scholarship Programs, that supports students of all ages to pursue their artistic passions in dance, music, visual arts, theatre, and martial arts.
This event will kick off an annual series of special fundraising events that will benefit RAA’s Scholarship Programs.
RAA’s Scholarship Programs offers funds that are need-based and merit-based, ensuring that financial barriers never prevent individuals from exploring the arts.
Each year, scholarship awards assist students enrolling in classes across dance, music, visual arts, theatre, and martial arts.
Since the programs’ inception over 20 years ago, the funds have empowered recipients to grow creatively and gain confidence. Last year RAA awarded over $18,000 to 83 students in scholarships and received 125 scholarship applications.
Community events like Salsa for Scholarships sustain this vital support and expand access for all.
“As an organization committed to nurturing creativity and transforming lives, we believe everyone deserves the chance to explore their artistic potential,” said Dr. Michael Benson, Executive Director of RAA.
“Salsa for Scholarships brings our community together in a celebration of the arts.” To learn more about RAA and this special event call 419-522-8224 or visit richlandacademy.com.
Founded in 1991 and supported by the Ohio Arts Council and Area Agency on Aging, RAA exists to foster, through artistic expression, the creative potential within every individual.
We offer professional-level programming in dance, music, visual arts, theatre, and martial arts, and through our ongoing Empower the Arts Capital Campaign, we’re modernizing our studios and performance spaces to serve Mansfield’s vibrant community.
