Dizzy Feet Foundation
We are excited to announce that our Chance to Dance program has received Dizzy Feet Foundation Community Program funding for 2013. As a direct result of this funding Chance to Dance has been able to extend our classes to 3 new schools; opening up the art of dance to many students right at their school. These students will also be performing in our 27th Annual performance at the Providence Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, May 15th, 2013 at 6:30pm.
DFF provides grants to community organizations and other tax-exempt entities in the United States, which provide dance education programs to children in low-income areas and disadvantaged communities. Through its grant recipients, DFF seeks to give children the experience of dance, to educate them about the many styles of dance, and to expose them to the lifelong benefits of dance.

Established in 1967, the RI State Council on the Arts (RISCA) is charged by the state legislature to stimulate public interest and participation in the arts and to serve as the liaison to the state arts community.
In 2003 the Arts Council board established a vision for the arts in Rhode Island, and a mission for the agency, that was in keeping with the original charge of the General Assembly.
Vision
We envision a Rhode Island where all people have an opportunity to participate in the arts, where the arts contribute to the social, economic and educational well-being of our state, and where the arts are valued by all Rhode Islanders as an integral part of life.
Mission
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts serves as a catalyst for the advancement, appreciation and promotion of excellence in the arts, by encouraging leadership, participation, and education in the arts for all Rhode Islanders.
