About the Community Arts Program at Seton Hill University

The Community Arts Program at Seton Hill University is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals of all ages by providing accessible, high-quality music and dance instruction within the local community. In alignment with the mission of Seton Hill University and the spirit of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, we educate students and community members to think critically, act creatively, and engage ethically with the world around them. Our goal is to foster a deep appreciation for the arts while empowering children and adults to develop technical skills, creativity, and self-expression through both private and group lessons. By engaging with these artistic traditions through our arts instruction and programming, we seek to inspire and develop productive, compassionate, creative individuals who are committed to transforming society, enhancing the vitality of the surrounding community, and contributing to a vibrant cultural landscape.
