This is Tessa Evanovsky. She is a librarian with the Athens County Library system, a musician, and person who believes in the mission of The Athens Artists Memorial Project.
She has referred several people to us who have been assisted by AAMP donations.
She is pictured here in front of our partner, Blue Eagle Music, with a guitar kit that Athens Artists Memorial Project (AAMP) purchased and donated to a young person who she identified through a string jam program that she helped start at the Glouster library. She went out of her way to come to Athens to pick it up since the young person had no way to get here.
If you know someone who has an interest in music or the arts, but not the means to explore it, you can apply for funds here: https://www.artistsmemorialproject.org/apply-for-funds .
And if you’d like to make a tax deductible donation to help folks experience music and the arts, please do so here: https://www.artistsmemorialproject.org/donate .
Thanks to Tessa for bringing this kid to our attention so that we could help get him a guitar!
A big thanks also to our donors for making it all possible!
