About Canopy

Our Mission

Canopy Studio is a community arts center.

We are dedicated to enriching the culture of our community and the lives of individuals through flying dance trapeze, movement education and performance arts. Canopy is a resource for local artists and all individuals, regardless of background, age, or physical ability, providing instruction in movement arts and a much-needed venue for viewing and participating in performances.

Canopy reaches out to diverse populations in our community.

Canopy allows everyone to benefit from our programs, classes, and performances. We offer in-house training for instructors through artist residencies, workshops, and mentoring. Classes currently offered include trapeze as movement education and performance arts for children, teens and adults; aerial silks; Pilates; conditioning; and yoga.

Canopy provides a safe space for creation and collaboration.

Our partnerships with artists of all mediums -- visual, literary, and musical help to build links to artists and teachers in communities everywhere, bringing new performances and learning opportunities to Northeast Georgia.

Canopy is dedicated.

The Canopy Repertory Company forms the backbone of the organization, teaching classes and workshops and presenting two major performances a year. With 30 classes offered each week plus birthday parties, student performances and community outreach, Canopy staff, teachers and Repertory Company continue the generosity of spirit and commitment with which the organization began.
