On June 9, 2022 Annie Adkins Johnson attended the Louisa Rotary Club to give an update about Aspire! Conservatory of Fine & Performing Arts, Inc. Hosted by Louisa United Methodist Church at Pine Hill, Louisa.
Annie Adkins Johnson is Site-Administrator at Louisa, Kentucky. Johnson gave an update on this past year’s progress to the group.
Aspire! teaches visual arts, private music lessons and theater classes. Aspire! officially opened in the fall of 2021 with 48 students and ended in the Spring Semester 2022 with 73 students and that’s with just being open on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. The Ashland office has been opened for eight years and served about 450 students last year.
“We have seven staff members at the Louisa location, which is for ages 6-18 and we have adults, adults are welcomed in any class,” Johnson said. “We have Summer Camp that starts on June 27 and ends July 1, 2022.”
“We will have two Art Courses, Theater Classes and beginning Piano Classes, the participants enjoy the WVMTA (West Virginia Music Teachers Association) with Piano Adjudication where participants receive points and in turn win trophies and Aspire is always looking for New Students and will be hiring a Voice Teacher soon, Aspire is growing leaps and bounds and we are super excited.”
