At Arts Fifth Avenue, our mission is to provide a vibrant forum for artistic expression in the heart of our neighborhood. We celebrate and preserve the uniquely American art forms of Tap Dance and Jazz Music while also offering opportunities in theater, visual arts, and dance. Through performances, classes, and community events, we educate and inspire audiences of all ages—especially young people—while building a hub where creativity and community thrive.
Matching Funds Available
The first $25000 in donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an absolute Angel for the Arts so your donations will be doubled until a total of $25000 has been received.
Thanks to the generosity of their donors and sponsors, Communities Foundation of Texas will continue to cover all transaction and technology fees. This means that every dollar donated through the North Texas Giving Day platform goes directly to Arts Fifth Avenue.
