Welcome to THE antonia Arts Organization!

Scarlett Antonia is a dynamic force in the creative and performing arts with a lifelong career that spans dance, choreography, directing, and producing. For over 25 years, she has been a cornerstone of the Peekskill arts community, uplifting and enriching local artists through her passion and leadership.

A former performer with Ballet Minnesota, Scarlett also toured nationally under the direction of legendary Broadway choreographer Peter Gennaro. Her original works have graced renowned stages such as Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and even reached young audiences on Sesame Street and the silver screen.

As the visionary founder of Antonia Arts Inc., a nonprofit devoted to providing scholarships and creative opportunities—particularly to undeserved individuals—Scarlett continues to champion artistic expression, community engagement, and the power of performance in Peekskill and beyond.

Antonia Arts is a community-driven nonprofit based in Peekskill, NY, dedicated to nurturing creativity, wellness, and diversity. We offer classes, workshops, performances, and rehearsal space at The Artist Spot, our welcoming home base in downtown Peekskill.

Our mission is to support artists of all backgrounds, encouraging the creation of new works, fresh voices, and vibrant audiences. We believe in the “Power of Now”—artistic flow that comes from being fully present and inspired.

Through theater productions, concerts, dance showcases, and community events, we bring people together. Scholarships are available, and everyone is welcome to express their unique self.

The Artist Spot is open for rentals, rehearsals, and creative gatherings—serving both artists and the wider community.
