The Arts are for Everyone | Woodlawn Arts Academy

On this episode of Along the Rock, host Emma Watts sits down with Christy Zepezauer, Executive Director of Woodlawn Arts Academy, to talk about an important but often overlooked opportunity for local families: financial aid.

Woodlawn Arts Academy has awarded more than $290,000 in financial assistance, helping students of all ages access classes in music, theater, dance, and visual arts. Learn how their financial aid program works, who qualifies, and why making the arts accessible to everyone remains at the core of their mission.

The conversation also highlights how support from United Way of Whiteside County and United Way of Lee County helps make these opportunities possible, and how the community can continue to support the academy’s work.

Whether you are a parent, student, or supporter of the arts, this episode provides everything you need to know about getting involved and making the arts part of your life.
