“More Funding for the Arts, Please”

Posted on December 10, 2010

Today, the arts are being cut to one of the lowest points in history. Like politics, funding is the mother’s milk of continued prowess in the arts, but more is at stake than most people believe.

As demand for a new workforce to meet the challenges of a global knowledge economy is rapidly increasing, nothing could be more important in this period of our nation’s history than art and an art infused education.

Everyone Loves MTM!

THANK YOU for the amazing program you have put together for kids to gain art appreciation and become little art masters themselves. I am a HUGE art lover and to see my daughters and my students enthralled by the masters of our time is a joyous sight!

They are having a ball and it is taking our instructional program to a new richness and depth. Thank you again!
