KIDS OF THE ARTS (KOTA) is a dynamic non-profit organization nestled in the heart of New York City. As a 501(c)3 entity, KOTA is on a mission to revolutionize entertainment, catering to audiences of all ages with innovative productions. Founded by Laura Luc, KOTA ignites the spark of passion in young individuals, inspiring them to channel their creativity for positive change.

From the iconic 42nd Street in New York City, featuring shows such as Disney’s Camp Rock, the United States Premiere of A Little Princess, and the NYC Revival of Annie Warbucks, to name just a few! In the face of unprecedented challenges, KOTA pivoted to virtual platforms in 2020, hosting workshops that united artists from every corner of the globe. Our dedication to nurturing talent knows no bounds. KOTA’s commitment extends beyond the stage, as we annually allocate a portion of our proceeds to charitable causes, both locally and globally.

KOTA has trained and worked with performers from over 60 Broadway productions & National Tours. Additionally, KOTA talent has been seen starring in feature films and television shows. Our performers continue to thrive in the industry with KOTA’s professional training, performance opportunities, and encouragement to guide them on their way to success in the arts and beyond.

Join us on this extraordinary journey as we empower the next generation of artists, equipping them with the skills and inspiration needed to thrive in the arts and beyond. Discover more about our past triumphs and upcoming endeavors, and become part of the KOTA family today.
