Arts Davidson County is incredibly grateful to Kristy Jackson for her generous donation of a beautiful piano to our space at 202 N Main Street in Lexington.

This gift will have a lasting impact far beyond the instrument itself. A piano opens the door for learning, collaboration, rehearsal, performance, and everyday creativity. It will become part of student programs, workshops, community gatherings, open mic nights, future monthly jam sessions, and the many ways our community comes together through the arts.

On behalf of Arts Davidson County, thank you, Kristy, for this meaningful investment in the arts and in our community. Support like this strengthens our ability to serve Davidson County and ensures that creativity continues to have a welcoming, inspiring home here.

We are truly honored by this gift and excited for all the music, connection, and inspiration it will bring for years to come.
