Thanks for supporting SNAP.
SNAP is closed due to Arizona’s COVID-19 increased transmission rate. We always aim to be part of the solution, rather than the problem, and are wishing all our Arts Lovers a joyous and safe new year with heartfelt hopes to see you on our welcoming campus very soon, experiencing, expressing and exploring the arts.
It is with an open heart we look forward to seeing you all once again dancing, acting and enjoying creating your art on our campus. At present the church property is still closed.
