About WR Arts
Founded in 2013 by Lakey Evans Peña, 501 (c)3 WMAAC Residencies, Inc. was born from a desire to provide a creative safe space for Brooklyn's District 14 elementary aged students. This performing arts enrichment program, held in school after 2:20PM has given students Pre- K through 5th Grade a chance to explore their kinesthetic awareness through dance, find their voice through drama & vocal training, as well as encouraged personal confidence & individuality just through shared participation.
2017 saw the start of many new developments: September noted a new chapter in the nonprofit's history with recording artist & long time program manager Nicky Guiland stepping into the role of President, Executive Director. After a full session and a glorious end of year performance, a new lease had been signed April 2018 at 573 Metropolitan returning our General Children's & Pre Professional dance programing to it's own space, and August 2018 came a new name WR Arts, inc.
These exciting developments continue to inspire us all. We look to reinvigorate the mission; Introducing & sharing our love for the performing arts while bridging North Brooklyn's culturally diverse neighborhoods together, building a stronger community through the arts.
WR Arts: We are Dance. We Are Community. We Are Arts!
