Unity Performing Arts Foundation (abbreviated UPAF; also stylized as UNITY) is an American performing arts non-profit organization based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.[2] The company focuses on diverse types of fine arts, including theatre arts, choral music, instrumental music, literary arts, oration, and others.[3]

History

[edit | edit source]

Founded in 1993 by Marshall White, Unity Performing Arts Foundation was officially incorporated in 2000.[4][5] Eventually, Unity came to serve as a platform for the Voices of Unity Youth Choir (VOU), a choral group directed by Marshall White that has been performing internationally since the 2000s.[6] The group has performed at international competitions such as the World Choir Games.[7] At the World Choir Games, the choir has won 5 gold medals in 2010, 2012, and 2014.[8][9] As of 2014, the choir consisted of a demographically diverse group of 123 youths.[10]

Youth development is also a major focus of the organization,[11] as Marshall White does not consider the organization to be strictly an arts venue, but also a place for personal development and community engagement.[12][13]
