A little late on sharing these photos...We loved being a part of Monday night's Madisonville Main Street - TN Food Truck Monday - Celebrating TN Statehood Day! It was great to showcase the art from our Youth Enrichment Art Camp students. Our favorite part was connecting with people and hearing their stories on how they have been impacted by art and music. Thank you for sharing!! ❤️for Art!

Fourth-grade students at Vonore Elementary recently brought the legendary tale of Paul Bunyan to life through a special MACA Readers Theatre program made possible through a Safepath grant.

We love seeing the arts help students find their voice, build confidence and shine! Bravo to the students, teachers, and everyone who made this special experience possible!
