Guided by our values of Equity, Integrity, Growth, and Community, The Fine Arts Association seeks to Create and Discover Beauty to foster a Community Empowered by the Arts. This reflects our highest aspirations for our organization as we strive for artistic excellence and represents the pedagogical principal in all our educational programs and performances. We use this statement provocatively understanding that the word beauty is a subjective concept. Yet we see beauty in much more than the art itself.

Education Report

Our arts experiences are inclusive of individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and ability levels. We provide arts education in a family-centered, safe, creative environment where students can experience the arts in their own very personal way. There are several creative routes to explore at FAA. Whether you are interested in pursuing the arts professionally, for the health benefits, or for fun, FAA has a place for you.

Early Childhood Education Report

A place where children develop their creative skills while beginning their creative passion! The class encourages children to be creative and experiment with a wide variety of engaging art supplies. Little ones, with a caregiver, will draw, paint, sculpt and collage their way to discovering the world of art through their own unique creations.

Dance Report

The Fine Arts Association's Dance Program allows students to enter at any level and/or style appropriate to both ability and age. Students new to FAA with previous study in dance will be scheduled for a placement assessment by appointment with a dance faculty member. Ages are approximate guidelines.

This is a very well run organization. Very friendly and accommodating. They are very focused on discovering how art benefits families, communities, and society in general. I highly recommend the Fine Arts Association of Willoughby.

Every time I've attended a show at The Fine Arts Association it has always been worth the ticket price. The actors are phenomenal and if you stay to meet them after the show they're all so nice and you can tell how much they care.

I experienced my first play here the other day. The staff and volunteers were all very nice. The theatre itself was cozy and inviting and the play was fantastic! I definitely will come back again!

Great place, with great teachers. Everything from beginner to advanced levels in all areas of the Arts. I went through here as a child, and now my children are taking classes here. So I have had the experience of getting lessons when I was younger, to being a parent of a student. Excellent community resource!

Fine Arts Association is such a wonderful asset to the Lake County & surrounding communities. So many classes to choose from with both adult & youth classes. Definitely something for everybody. But one of my favorite things to do is attend the shows. The productions are always excellent. I recently attended The Crucible which did not disappoint!
