Jessye NORMAN school of the arts eastside (JNSA2)

JNSA2 carries forward the legacy of artistic excellence and community empowerment that began with the Jessye Norman School of the Arts. Located in East Side Atlanta, the school provides a space for students to explore their creative voices through fine arts, performance, and design. We believe that art is not just expression, it’s transformation. Through free and accessible programs, JNSA2 gives youth the opportunity to learn from working artists, collaborate with peers, and present their talents on professional stages, bridging creativity and confidence with every performance.
