ArtSpireVA at Nepenthe Gallery

ArtSpireVa began with a simple but urgent realization: too many young people were being left out of the arts due to lack of access. Founder Gennifer Difilippo saw this firsthand as students missed out—not because of a lack of passion, but because they never had the chance to train or participate.

What started as a response to that gap has become a movement. ArtSpireVa now empowers youth through dance, music, theater, and visual arts. Gennifer’s passion for after-school programs, creative confidence, and team-building shaped our mission. Today, we continue to open doors, foster belonging, and spark joy through the power of the arts.

Join us at Nepenthe Gallery to get a sneak peek at some of the performers in the upcoming NUTCRACKER and learn about how you can support Gennifer and her transformational organization!!
