Tell us about yourself.
Our organization brings free arts opportunities to our underserved community in Appalachia. We strategically create programs and projects to meet the needs of our people. For instance, Ballroom Dance in Sweat Pants brings together senior citizens to alleviate social isolation and meet physical fitness needs through the arts. Our most recent program is called From Our Mountains to Yours and it virtually connected middle school classrooms in rural Appalachia and the Peruvian Andes to make international friends and learn about other cultures. We create programs that bring isolated people together to thrive through the arts!
