Founded in Grafton, Massachusetts in 1989, Apple Tree Arts is a non-profit community school for the arts serving people of all ages throughout the Blackstone and Assabet Valleys in South central Massachusetts. Our mission is to enrich the community through the arts, by providing high quality educational music and theatre arts programs for individuals of all ages.

We offer programs in music and movement for children from birth on up, private instruction in a wide range of instruments as well as voice for children and adults, and theater arts programs for children. Committed to cultural enrichment that meets the needs and interests of many different audiences, Apple Tree Arts also offers many special performances and community musical events throughout the year, including concerts on the Grafton Common, wind and flute ensemble performances, and student and faculty recitals. We serve over 1,000 students each year, with audiences totaling nearly 3,000. We are supported solely through tuition, grants, and private support, and by corporate sponsors.
