The Studios for the Performing Arts Operating Company (dba CLARA) works to create a future where children have access to a robust arts education, and local artists are empowered to grow their talents, crafts, and production in the place they call home.

We do this by bringing arts education programs to public schools with low arts access; teaching professional development workshops that help adult artists further professionalize their work; producing showcases and other convenings which allow local artists to build community, more easily collaborate with peers, and be connected with additional artistic opportunities; offering low-cost rehearsal and administrative space to arts organizations in our community.

CLARA provides education and resources to Sacramento residents that unleash the creative potential of local arts and culture at all levels of the artistic ecosystem.
