Book your room »Support Our Youth
Each year the producers provide financial support to the youth performers, many of whom would be unable to present their talents and take advantage of the array of mentors available to them at the CISC. This opportunity is of great value to these young artists and with your help we could do even more.
Please consider making a donation that directly benefits the production of our Emerging Artists and Next Generation Youth Showcases. Join us in our efforts to PRESERVE this cultural legacy by educating our future.
