Wise Performing Arts Guild

What is the WPAG?

The Wise Performing Arts Guild (WPAG) was formed in 2003 by a group of dedicated parents whose goal was to support not only the performing arts, but more specifically the students and staff of Wise Ballet and Music Academy, owned by Karen Smith. Mrs. Smith serves as the Artistic Director. Each season WPAG funds produces a full length classical ballet to celebrate and showcase the young dancers of Wise Ballet & Music Academy, who range in age from 3-65+. The productions are a pro-fessional and quality endeavor. WPAG depends on fundraisers, program ad sales, corporate and private donations, and ticket sales to fund the production. We also raise funds via an auction and raffle at each production. WPAG has received a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts for the last few years.

Mission Statement: “The Wise Performing Arts Guild is a non-profit 501c(3) membership organization dedicated to bringing young performing artists and audiences together, providing education and opportunities, thereby presenting the community with entertainment experiences of the highest standard.” WPAG’s goals are to ensure that our love of the performing arts is evident to our patrons in ways that touch the community at large.

The Wise Performing Arts Guild does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, or marital status in any of its activities or operations.
