ABOUT the
Yocum Institute for Arts Education
The Institute of the Arts celebrated 75 years of service to the community with a
new name and a new look. As of July 4, 2009 Institute is "The Yocum Institute for
Arts Education." The name change honors long-time donor, board member and community
philanthropist, James H. Yocum, whose philanthropic focus is education. The name
further defines the Institute's core mission of arts education and the future direction
of "Making the Arts Make a Difference".
Today, quality instruction and access to the arts remain major priorities with innovative
programs and expanding partnerships helping to widen the impact and benefits of the arts
in our community. Our vision of “Making the Arts Make a Difference” has increased the number
of people served through private instruction, on site classes, exhibits, productions, integrated
arts summer camps and outreach programs from 8,000 in 2008 and 2009 to over 14,000 in 2010.
The Institute offers a preschool and kindergarten that integrates the arts into experiential
learning, community wide off-site arts programs, workshops with renowned teaching artists,
performances and onsite-ongoing classes in the Visual Arts, Dance, Music and Theater including;
Painting, Drawing, Mixed Media; Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Salsa, Hip Hop, Voice, Jazz Composition,
