2025 Community Connection: Building Stronger Roots Together
Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed several incredible partners into The Underground and Creative Arts Centre:
- The School for the Arts, led by Ally Larsen and a group of artists, now offers music and art lessons that encourage creativity and confidence.
- Perricone Center for Counseling and Healing Arts, founded by Katie Perricone, provides a wide range of services— including expressive arts, play therapy, counseling for all ages, couples, and families, and even financial counseling.
- Studio 20 has rebranded as Pulse Dance Academy, offering beginner through advanced classes in ballet, jazz, lyrical, poms, and hip hop—plus the exciting launch of The Homeez,
a new street dance team. - Church of Faith, led by Pastor David and First Lady Valerie Seroy, meets with us on the first and third Sundays, offering an uplifting time of worship and encouragement.
We believe that real change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. The work we do would not be possible without God’s guidance and the generosity, partnership, and encouragement we receive from friends like you.
Thank you for walking alongside us as we continue building not only spaces, but strong connections that make our community a better place for all.
