About Vessel For Arts

Vessel For Arts is a Michigan-based 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 45-3697190) that administers faith-oriented performing-arts programs, most notably Homeschool Performing Arts (HPA) and a Bible-based musical program called The Story. HPA brings together homeschooled students and parents to produce full-length mainstage musicals, smaller StageWorks/2nd-Stage productions, and educational classes and camps.

The organization is an active, donor-facing charity with a maintained web presence and frequent, ticketed regional performances (venues in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Charlotte, Lansing and surrounding areas). Recent seasons have included family-friendly musicals and touring performances; programming is presented as a mix of volunteer and paid staff leadership focused on student development and community engagement.
