About Us
Light & Legacy Performing Arts Academy is new to Covington, GA, but not new to training excellence. We serve Newton, Walton, Rockdale and Henry counties. With years of experience in dance, music, and theater education, we are passionate about nurturing creativity, confidence, and character in every student.
LIGHT AND LEGACY COMMUNITY ARTS is a non-profit 501(c) (3). From afterschool programs to summer camps and community theater arts (for children and adults), we provide a faith-centered environment where children and adults alike can grow artistically and spiritually. In addition to our youth programs, we are proud to host a Community Arts Group that welcomes teens and adults to engage in artistic expression, cultural enrichment, and personal growth through workshops, performances, and special events. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced performer, there’s a place for you here to connect, grow, and shine.
At Light & Legacy, we’re not just developing performers, we’re cultivating leaders, building confidence, and empowering individuals to use their gifts to impact the world. From the classroom to the stage, we are committed to helping every member of our community build a lasting legacy through the arts.
Established in 2007 | Reimagined in 2025
Originally established in 2007, our organization has a rich history of training youth in the performing arts, traveling the world spreading the gospel through performing arts, and empowering artist to shine both on and off the stage. After a five-year pause due to the pandemic, we relaunched in 2025 as Light & Legacy Performing Arts—with a renewed vision, expanded programs, and a new home in Covington, GA. While the name has changed, our commitment remains the same: to nurture creativity, confidence, and character through faith-based arts education and community engagement.
Our Vision
To be a transformative force in the community by nurturing confident, purpose-driven performers who use their gifts to inspire, uplift, and leave a lasting legacy through faith and arts.
Our Mission
At Light & Legacy Performing Arts Academy, our mission is to inspire and empower the next generation through the transformative power of the performing arts and academic enrichment. We are dedicated to providing a creative, nurturing, and faith-centered environment where children can develop their talents in dance, singing, and acting while excelling academically.
