The Patel Conservatory realizes the dream of benefactor and namesake Pallavi Patel, wife of world-renowned philanthropist Kiran C. Patel, by giving arts education a prominent place in Tampa Bay’s cultural community. Through its camps, ballet programming and Rock School, the conservatory has offered a slew of enriching activities for kids, but adults at all levels can learn to dance, perform stand-up comedy, sing, act in front of the camera and so much more. Wendy Leigh and her intrepid staff have worked around the clock to make the Conservatory accessible to all. patelconservatory.org.
