The Professional Organization for Performing Artists (P.O.P.A.) was formed within recent years with a mission to "promote professional and performing artists, and to make their talents and productions available to a wide audience. It is a non-profit group designed to serve both artists and the public.

Many arts organizations, often forming and reforming on shoestring budgets, have struggled to establish a solid foundation on which to present well-prepared, creative artists on a long range basis. They have come to realize that business knowledge, marketing, and production skills are essential to bridge the gap between study and professional performance. P.O.P.A. is a conduit to promote artists and special events regularly, focusing on career development through performance opportunities. This organization is of a cooperative nature and strives  to rise above mediocrity.
