What is NIA Performing Arts Group?

 NIA is a vibrant creative and academic enrichment program serving youth ages 5–18 across Greater Lafayette. More than an after-school initiative, NIA is a space where young people are empowered to explore who they are and who they can become.


Rooted in the belief that every child deserves a platform to express their voice, NIA blends performance-based learning with cultural pride, academic support, and personal development. Whether through dance, spoken word, music, or mentorship, participants engage in experiences that ignite confidence and encourage growth.
