Greenwood Fine Arts Academy (GFAA) is a nonprofit arts education organization dedicated to nurturing creativity, performance, and community engagement across the Arkansas River Valley.

Founded to expand access to high-quality performing arts experiences, GFAA offers after-school theatre programs, summer camps, and seasonal productions that empower youth to explore their talents in music, dance, acting, and visual arts.

Mission and Vision

• Mission: To inspire artistic expression and cultural connection for individuals of all ages through accessible arts education.

• Vision: To build a thriving arts community in Greenwood and beyond, with a permanent theatre facility serving as a cultural hub for performances, events, and collaboration.

Programs and Impact

• Youth Theatre: GFAA’s cornerstone is its youth programming, which helps children build confidence, communication skills, and creativity through live performance.

• Seasonal Shows: Productions like Dear Edwina Jr. showcase local talent and bring families together to celebrate the arts.

• Summer Camps: Immersive experiences in theatre and musical performance offer kids a chance to grow artistically and socially.

Future Plans

GFAA is currently leading a capital campaign to build a community theatre in Greenwood — a space that will host live shows, community events, and movies. The facility is currently in the planning phase and will serve as a lasting legacy for arts education and cultural enrichment in the region.

Community-Driven and Inclusive

• GFAA thrives on community support, welcoming volunteers, donors, and performers of all backgrounds.
