History
Performing Arts Workshop was established in 1965. With schools and community centers as her laboratory, Workshop Founder Gloria Unti developed a teaching method based on the conviction that the creative process is a dynamic vehicle for learning, problem-solving, and communication. Today, the Workshop's commitment to marginalized youth has grown stronger than ever. The Workshop's Artists-in-Schools and Artists-in-Communities programs reach thousands of youth in public schools, transitional housing facilities, and community centers each year. The Workshop also collaborates with numerous community partners to ensure that the Workshop's longstanding value-the belief that all young people, regardless of social status, identity, or ability, are equally entitled to benefit from the creative process-is upheld.
