Research has shown that kids who are in the arts do better in other subjects, score higher on standardized tests, stay out of trouble, and are more likely to graduate and go to college. Many of the skills required to succeed in today’s work force are the same skills learned from participating in a program in the arts, such as problem solving, self-motivation, discipline, and teamwork.
At North Shore Academy of the Arts, Inc., we believe in the value of the arts, not only for what it can do for our culture, but what it can provide for our future; in helping our participants discover and nurture their talents and realize their dreams.
With a powerful board of leadership, supporting businesses, volunteer community members, as well as the experienced staff of instructors, this not-for-profit company provides opportunities to everyone in the community to learn, grow, blossom and flourish in the arts and in their own personal growth.
We’d like to thank all of those who have shared with us at NSAA, and we look forward to our expansion and continued success as we offer the full spectrum of opportunities from dabbling in the arts to providing pathways to reach for the stars!
Sheri Bestor
Founder and President

In talking with people within the community, it’s amazing how some in Southeastern WI are very familiar with our programs. However, you might be stumbling upon us for the first time. Let us introduce ourselves.
We tend to attract families. And those families stick with us for a very long time. NSAA is a FAMILY FRIENDLY community. We have something for everyone. We have offerings for ALL AGES in the visual, literary, and performing arts. This is what makes NSAA UNIQUE. We specialize in all of the arts. Whether its dance classes, modeling classes, computer classes, private music lessons, yoga, art classes, writing critiques and workshops, we pretty much cover it all.
NSAA also has the CREDIBILITY AND LONGETIVITY that makes us a successful organization. We have a solid board of directors, advisory board members, and we have been around for 10 years! We are a GROWING 501c3 nonprofit organization. We attract creative people and produce creative energy. This is our contribution to making our region A BETTER COMMUNITY.
You can support our mission through volunteering, signing up for classes, telling a friend about us, or by giving a charitable contribution of any size. Stop in sometime and look around. See for yourself the excitement that the arts bring to individuals, families, and communities!
