community arts in action
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, cultural festivals, workshops, public art installations, exhibits and an in-depth exploration of McNairy County's rich cultural heritage. The organization has been recognized at the local, state, and national level 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. Join us today!
