Shirley Fearn 60+ StudentRichland Academy of the Arts is an amazing asset for Mansfield and Ohio in general. Everyone who works at Richland Academy of the Arts is so passionate about the arts, and wants to see their students succeed. RAA certainly is a place like no other, and I’m so thankful to be a part of the RAA Family.

From the moment I enter Richland Academy the joy begins. The girls at the front desk are so welcoming and helpful. They ensure all my questions regarding the class schedules for all of the sessions that are offered for the "senior citizens." I truly love learning piano, it was always a childhood dream for me. Now, it has finally become a reality. I will begin my 5th year at the Academy in the "senior citizens" program and am looking forward to another rewarding year of learning and exploring all that is offered in my journey as a pianist and artist.
