Mission and Vision

Mode Music and Performing Arts is a nonprofit arts organization offering innovative arts education programs promoting confidence, social awareness, equity and empathy in our students and community.

Mode Music and Performing Arts envisions a future where children's voices lead the way in creating a better community through art and expression. We seek to empower youth to thrive, fearlessly lead and adapt to an ever-changing world.


What We Do

Mode Music and Performing Arts’ mission is to bring accessible arts education to Seattle’s kids, through school enrichment programs, group classes and camps at our classroom space in West Seattle, and private lesson scholarships for instruction at Mode Music Studios.

MMPA was created to address disparities in arts education. As public schools lost arts funding, a shift felt especially by Title I schools, our local students were losing access to arts education. Our founder, Erin Rubin, established MMPA to partner with public schools whose arts program funding had been reduced or eliminated, and to provide innovative performing arts programs with free and discounted pricing options. 

As MMPA has grown, we've expanded to provide an array of music and performing arts classes and camps at our West Seattle location. These programs are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis, with no application required, so that they are widely accessible!

Through our pay-what-you-can group classes and camps in 2022, we served 234 students and offered 73 scholarships, totaling over $15,000 of financial aid to our students
! 

We returned to schools in Fall 2022, when enrichment providers were welcomed back to resume programming in the schools. We partnered with 14 schools in Fall/Winter 2022-23, serving 164 students and providing $2,690 in requested scholarships.


Thank YOU!

MMPA’s ability to offer pay-what-you-can programs is entirely because of people like you – people who care about kids having access to arts education in school AND out of school. We are so grateful for our community’s support. 

Thank you for giving BIG to make accessible arts education possible!
