PURPOSE
After graduating with their BFAs in 2022, Abby and Grace found limited resources around Lynchburg to continue training in dance and acting at an upper level. Given that Lynchburg is a blooming arts community, there was a need for upper-level dance and acting classes for adults outside of an academic setting; as a solution to this personal and community need, Abby and Grace created Market Arts.
MISSION
Our goal is to create a space to help sharpen and shape the performer’s established trade within the artistic industry. At Market Arts, we believe the performer is never done growing. Exercising the artistic muscles in both acting and dancing is necessary to keep the performer well-rounded and ready to work. We offer advanced acting and dance classes for professionals with established experience* to keep his or her technique and artistic process sharp and defined. We also offer beginner acting and dance classes for adults wanting a resource to get started.
*previous upper-level training or equivalent experience through professional work.
