The Arts make an impact! Central Illinois has a rich arts community that benefits the entire region. Peoria Ballet has been a part of this vibrant arts community for nearly 60 years, and we are grateful for the ongoing support that allows us to carry out our mission…art that moves! #ChooseGreaterPeoria
Reason #8 to support the arts in 2024: arts have social impact! "University of Pennsylvania researchers have demonstrated that a high concentration of the arts in a city leads to greater civic engagement, more social cohesion, higher child welfare, and lower poverty rates." -Americans for the Arts
