Arts in McNairy http://www.artsinmcnairy.com
Arts in McNairy was founded in 2001 on the principle that participation in the arts is a cornerstone for the development of a healthy community. Over the past 20 years, AiM has demonstrated this principle through arts programs, concerts, performances, festivals, workshops, exhibits and in-depth exploration of McNairy County’s rich cultural heritage. The organization has been recognized at the local, state, and national levels for excellence in rural arts development and planning. Simply stated, we aspire to connect local creatives to the larger community where their gifts may be shared and appreciated.
