Message From Our Director
ELLEN SELL
ACAM is focusing on building anew for the future. For the past fourteen years, I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the smiles of young artists as they learn, watching them improve, observing how caring and thoughtful the ACAM teaching artists are in guiding our young talents. I so appreciate the enthusiasm of the students, the expertise of the teachers, the help and concern of the parents, and your positive support!
Now, it is time for a change and new ideas! At the end of this year I am resigning as executive director and my title will be founder. I will continue to write grants, teach ACAM chorus, and support the new executive director, Shawn Gonzalez.
