The Rainey Institute is dedicated to positive change for Greater Cleveland’s youth and families through education and participation in the visual and performing arts. Children ages 3 and up attend Rainey after school, on Saturdays, and during the summer to explore music, dance, drama, sewing, and art. The organization develops their artistic abilities and their character. Students learn to be leaders and positive role models. Rainey reaches over 650 children and young adults each year through its programming, and holds many public performances for the community throughout the year.
