Summer 2026 Catalog

At the SPARC, you can expand your creative experiences all year long. Opportunities for creative growth abound… improve your existing skills, learn some completely new ones, or do both!

Led by a passionate team of educators and professionals, our programs create opportunities for all ages to explore their artistic potential, while building a stronger, more inclusive community. Through our programming, we aim to enrich lives, deepen community ties, and cultivate a lasting appreciation for the arts.

MUSICAL ENSEMBLES

  • These sessions are designed to lay the foundation for a community band. We invite local band directors (current or future) to bring any music they want to read before they put it in front of their students next Fall. We will also be acquiring newly-published titles to read and allow teachers to experience before they purchase them for their own ensembles. Get that trombone out of the closet and let’s have some fun making music together!

    All are welcome. This class is eligible for Act 48 credits for music teachers.

    Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30 PM

    Open to all adults 18+/post-high school.

  • We are creating a space within our community for people to connect and reconnect with their love of choral singing. For so many adults, there is a fond memory of their school music program days, but that sense of belonging and achievement can be missing from adult life. This community choir will be focused on building connections, reigniting adults' love of choral singing, and branching out across the greater Delaware County area through performance. We hope that you will come check it out. Come exactly as you are - share your voice - build a community in song!

    No experience/audition required! Whether you’ve only ever sung in the shower, you haven’t sung since your high school choir days, or you sing at church every week, we hope you’ll come join us to sing together each week!

    Mondays 7:00 - 8:30 PM

    Open to all adults 18+/post-high school.
