"When you learn, teach.
When you get, give."

During the summer session, ACAM students were learning and teaching. When they get new knowledge, they give of their time to instruct others.

ACAM Goes Independent
Angelica Center for Arts and Music has its own 501 (c) (3) non-profit status now.
We are most grateful to both New City Parish and Angelica Lutheran Church for being our fiscal sponsors during our beginning years and look forward to continue in partnership with both as we move into the future.
What does this mean for YOU?
This means checks and PayPal payments should be made to Angelica Center for Arts and Music directly.
When you hit the Donate button above, it will go to the ACAM PayPal site.
To mark our new status, new logo designs were created by graphic design artist, Carrie Kieffer of Ampersand Design Studio of Kansas City. These reflect our emphasis on dance, theatre and music as well as performance.

A BIG thank you to all family members who made the summer events successful.
Israel Hernandez, father of a trombonist and Humberto Lopez, father of a violinist and singer, set chairs and music stands and kept the program running smoothly as our stage crew.
Elsa, the grandmother of a young dancer, and Nicolasa Martinez, parent of a violinist took ticket donations for Showcases. Julia Ayala, parent of a violinist and a trombonist, took ticket donations for Stars and Stripes. Afterwards Micaela Martinez joined to help count donated receipts. Angelica Hess sold ice cream and drinks for one showcase and Nara Lope donated a delicious flan to sell after the final showcase.
Many other parents and brothers and sisters helped with chairs, stands, supervision, and cleaning up, thus contributing to the success of four summer performance events!
