Thanks to your support, learners of all ages — from preschoolers to adult lifelong learners — connected through art this year.

“I have been fortunate to be able to provide my children and grandchildren with both lessons and experiences at TMA. I feel art says so much about us, looks at the good, bad, complicated, the beauty in our world. How these views have changed over centuries. Art incorporates math, science, geography, and sociology. We need art, we need to introduce art to all. I feel fortunate to be able to help with art education within our community.” MARGARET ELDRED Community Member
