What is MEPAA?

Music Education & Performing Artists Association (MEPAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides access to music and arts education by removing barriers and identifying resources needed for inclusion, exploration, and success for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

The MEPAA Music & Arts Center is an inclusive space offering music & art classes for diverse learners where nobody is turned away for the inability to pay. We need your support to continue providing free instruments, instruction and resources to underserved students and families. Help us create judgment-free, joyful spaces that build stronger, healthier communities and save lives for youth in need of connection and mentorship.
