Our Commitment
Pearl Arts empowers Northeast Indiana youth to become leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs, providing programs and services that instill the mindset and skills needed to chart their own course and shape their future.
Pearl Arts is the vision of a small group of committed volunteers, including local philanthropists Chuck and Lisa Surack, to create a one-of-a-kind community hub for the arts, music education, and entrepreneurship.
The investment into Fort Wayne will foster cultural growth and prosperity to the city, community, and the youth & residents of of the Summit City.
I want Pearl Arts to provide every child with the joy of music because the benefits of study, discipline, and perseverance will be life-changing. Anything is possible with the gift of music.
