YOU can make a difference in a child's life!

  Young people who participate in the arts are . . .

  • 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement

  • 4 times more likely to participate in math or science fairs and win awards for writing

  • 3 times more likely to be elected to class office and to win an award for school attendance

Participation in the fine arts has been shown to improve learning in all academic areas. AIM has established a scholarship program for students from economically disadvantaged circumstances and those who are at risk of not succeeding in school. Tuition provides only half of our operating costs. Our non-profit program depends on caring individuals and community-minded companies to provide continuing support for scholarships, programming and community events. Your tax-deductible contributions have an enduring and positive impact on the children in our community who need it most.
