Community Art Reach exists to empower emerging artists through transformative workshops led by seasoned professionals from the entertainment industry. We mentor the dreamers, leaders, and storytellers of tomorrow. Art isn’t just a reflection of our culture—it’s the sounds, experiences, and people that shape it.

Launched by one of the youngest conductors to lead a Broadway orchestra, Peter van Reesema is passionate about inspiring others to believe in themselves. Originally from Michigan, Peter made his conducting debut at 24 with the Broadway production of Hamilton, later becoming a staffed music director.

Peter has been fortunate to collaborate with some of the world’s most accomplished artists across various disciplines. Community Art Reach is a vehicle to share their stories, build bridges for future creators, and offer communities greater access to working professionals in the arts.

We are all creative.

We are all capable.

Let’s learn by doing.
