She loves music, singing, and I am impressed to see how confident she feels even singing in public in from of strangers. I greatly appreciate learning about this wonderful project."

    -Paola

  • "Thank you! I needed to make up what the [public] after-school program promised but has not delivered. There’s no art, music, and dance involved. I wanted desperately to find everything ACAM offers, and where it could be free. You are planting little seeds in my children and others that will impact future generations to come. Thank you for sharing the beautiful treasure of the arts and making it possible for my children to become enriched with them!"

    -Sara

    -Teodosia
