Canopy Studio

Canopy Studio a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to enriching the culture of our community and the lives of individuals through aerial dance, movement education and performance arts. Canopy is a resource for local artists and all individuals, regardless of background, age, or physical ability, providing instruction in movement arts and a much-needed live performance venue in North Georgia.

Canopy allows everyone to benefit from our programs, classes, and performances. We offer workshops, performances, and outreach initiatives; we’re always seeking ways to increase our community presence and firmly believe aerial arts should be accessible to everyone.

Our partnerships with artists of all mediums help to build links to creators and teachers in communities everywhere, bringing new performances and learning opportunities to Northeast Georgia.

The Canopy Repertory Company forms the backbone of the organization, teaching classes and workshops and presenting two major performances a year. With over 90 classes offered each week plus workshops, student performances and community outreach – the Canopy staff, teachers and Repertory Company work to continue the generosity of spirit and commitment with which the organization began.
