Everyone should have access to the arts!
WKMS, in partnership with the Pennyroyal Arts Council, is hosting an instrument drive this week to donate to Christian County Schools. Have a playable instrument that you don't need anymore?
Pass it along to the next generation of musicians!
Drop off locations:
*WKMS, located on the 8th floor of Murray State's Price Doyle Fine Arts Building this week (Monday - Friday 8am - 4:30pm)
*Time on the String, upstairs in Paducah's renovated Coke Plant
*Alhambra Theatre in Hopkinsville during office hours, or at the Black Violin concert February 4th at 7 p.m.
This project is inspired by Black Violin's work to overcome stereotypes and encourage people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds to join together to break down cultural barriers.
Specific instruments needed include wind instruments (Flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, etc.). But all kinds are welcome. A special thank you to Time on the String in Paducah for getting this instrument drive going by donating 8 string instruments from violin to banjo to electric guitar!
If you have an instrument or any questions, you can contact Dixie Lynn at dlynn2@murraystate.edu.
Thanks for keeping the music going!
