For nearly 20 years, the Campanile Center for the Arts has been a vital resource for arts education, engaging hundreds of area youth in hands-on art lessons, individual music instruction, and a popular summer youth theater program.
The arts are essential for fostering language development, communication, and reading skills in children. Creative activities like drawing, sculpting, and painting enhance visual-spatial skills, critical thinking, and confidence. Introducing the arts during a child’s early years plays a key role in their overall development, helping to shape well-rounded, expressive individuals.
The Campanile Center for the Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Qualified Charitable Deductions
The Internal Revenue Code allows individuals over 70 ½ to receive a tax benefit for charitable giving using qualified charitable distributions (QEDs). This strategy helps minimize the tax burden by satisfying a portion or all of the required minimum distribution (RMD) obligation once RMDs begin at age 73.
