ANNUAL CAMPAIGN 2025

EDUCATE, ELEVATE, ENCOURAGE -- through the transformative power of the arts!

As we reflect on the year gone by, we are filled with gratitude for your continued support and commitment to Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center. Together, we have made a remarkable impact on Middle Tennessee families through the transformative power of the arts. This has only been possible because of the generosity and dedication of supporters like you. Thank you!

Now, we are asking you to join us once again to support arts education, outreach and healing arts in our community. These valuable programs are more important than ever as we provide mentorship, skill-building activities and creative empowerment to new generations of previously unreached participants. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what your neighbors are saying about Monthaven.

“Monthaven is a gem of culture in our little community. I am absolutely amazed by the quality of art and education that Monthaven provides students of all ages. My son is on the autism spectrum and he often feels left out of the community at large. Thanks to Monthaven my son is able to experience excellent art instruction, exposure to the arts, and caring community.” – Mary Leslie Pitt

“We are writing to share heartfelt testimony on the profound impact Monthaven’s healing arts is having on the women in recovery and re-entry here at Doors of Hope…One of the benefits of healing arts we’ve witnessed is its ability to facilitate non-verbal expression. Our women who’ve experienced trauma or struggle with substance use often find it difficult to articulate their feelings and experience through words alone. Healing arts offers them a safe space to express emotions and experiences that might be too overwhelming to verbalize.” – Abby Newhall and Taylor Mora, Doors of Hope

In 2025, we are excited to host innovative new exhibits and inspiring cultural events. With your help, we will empower aspiring artists with professional support, launch mobile outreach classrooms, and work with additional partner organizations to reach new audiences in our community. Your financial contribution also allows us to offer need-based scholarships, pay for art-making supplies, and increase the frequency and reach of community outreach opportunities for our region.

Whether you are able to contribute at the level of $50, $500, $5,000 or any other amount that is meaningful to you, know that every dollar makes a significant difference in helping us achieve our mission.

We understand that you may have many choices when it comes to giving as we close this year, and we would be honored to have you stand with us. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being an essential part of the Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center family.
