exposure to the arts fund

Bringing the joy of the arts to the community for all ages.

January 28th, 2011 marked the first project of Maggie Morrison's Exposure to the Arts Fund. A weekend of three recitals generated enough money to purchase 36 sets of the "Classical Music for Kids" CDs, which will be donated to schools and children's groups. Maggie was overwhelmed by the response, and is happy to report that all schools and children's programs that entered a ballot will receive a set of CDs. This project was implemented in cooperation with Kid's Can Fly, however, the next project slatted for November 2011 will be a stand alone venture.
