MCACA Grant awarded $1200.00 to the Clare-Gladwin Great Start Collaborative

We would like to thank the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs for the recent $1200.00 grant to the Clare-Gladwin Great Start Collaborative. This grant will allow us to provide over 500 families and children in Gladwin and Clare Counties an opportunity to experience an exciting performance by a Michigan artist!

Due to the fact that we serve children in rural counties, such experiences are not readily available to our low income, often isolated families.  Children and their parents will have the opportunity to sing and dance and spend time together.  By incorporating the engaging, compelling voice and quick wit of Beverly Meyer-The Music Lady into this event we will be exposing children and families to the performing arts through an interactive, musical experience- elements that really add a fun aspect to these events.  We are extremely excited to bring this opportunity to the families in our communities who have limited exposure to cultural diversity of this magnitude. 

We look forward to these upcoming events and will have more details soon on when and where these events will take place.
