About Threefold Artists

Our story, our mission, our promise.

Our Mission

Why We Exist

Threefold Artists exists to bring the transformative power of live performing arts to people and communities that cannot easily access them. We believe that everyone, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance, deserves to experience the joy, healing, and connection that live performance creates.

Our Vision

What We See

A world where live performing arts are accessible to every person, in every community. Where the curtain rises in care homes as often as concert halls. Where music fills hospital corridors and dance brings light to shelters.

Our Story

How It Started

Threefold Artists was born from a simple observation: the people who could benefit most from live performing arts are often the ones least able to access them. Residents of care homes, patients in hospitals, people in shelters, and communities in underserved areas rarely have the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre, music, or dance.

We set out to change that. By connecting volunteer performing artists with venues and communities in need, we create moments of joy, connection, and transformation. Our name reflects our core belief: the act of giving through art returns to the giver, the receiver, and the community threefold.

Yvette Ciaramilaro is a performer, storyteller, and Founder & President of Threefold Artists, Inc.

She trained at The Sanford Meisner Center, where she completed a two-year Meisner program, and studied Theatre at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She has also trained with Anthony Gilardi, focusing on truthful, emotionally grounded performance.

Yvette is drawn to storytelling that feels deeply human and alive, bringing connection through music, theatre, and movement. She has a deep love for nostalgic music and classic performance styles, especially pieces that spark memory, joy, and emotional connection across generations.

Her work is rooted in the belief that performance is not just about entertainment; it’s about creating moments that bring people together. That belief ultimately led her to create Threefold Artists, where she now combines her passion for performance with her commitment to community impact.

As Founder and President, Yvette leads Threefold’s vision, partnerships, fundraising, and program development, helping bring live theatrical experiences directly to seniors, retirement communities, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and community facilities.

What We Stand For

Our Three Promises

Access

We remove every barrier between people and live performance. No tickets, no transport, no cost. If you cannot come to the arts, we will come to you.

Dignity

Every performance we deliver is professional quality. Our audiences deserve the same standard of artistry as any paying audience in any venue.

Connection

Live performance creates bonds between performer and audience, between individuals in a shared experience, and between communities and the wider world of art.
