About Us

TPFF aims to create a safe space for aspiring young artists, with or without disabilities, to reach their full potential in Dance, Music, Theater and the Visual Arts.

TPFF collaborates and partners with other Bronx community-based organizations and is committed to creating a broad community of partners and supporters to spread kindness and hope to youths, families and the community through the arts with a goal to build a Performing Arts and Wellness Center in the Northeast Bronx.
