Special Projects in the Community

The Katy Visual & Performing Arts Center (KVPAC) is a philanthropic arts organization. Our goals ensure that art education is recognized and used to improve basic learning skills in Katy and surrounding communities. Our efforts ensure that residents are aware of the value of the arts and will have equitable access to quality arts programs and services.

The Katy Visual & Performing Arts Center designs and implements outreach programs for communities in need of art educational support. Since we were incorporated by the state of Texas as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2001, KVPAC has established educational partnerships with K.I.S.D. and local school districts to address specific art educational needs including:
