We call this the “Creative Arts” Department because it covers all other areas of the arts that the other departments don’t cover! In this case, it’s our Art Classes and Writing Classes. Because there are more ways to be creative than participating in performing arts!

Internships Available!
At illuminate, we put internships at the forefront of our company. We believe that our students have been blessed with talents which we hope to help them discover and nurture. In the Acting Department, it is possible for a student to work their way up to being the Director of a large class or production, if they have gone through the steps provided! We want our students to dream big while discovering where their passions lie.
