MAYO STREET ARTS 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

February 14th, 2017

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your support of Mayo Street Arts.

Your membership supports a diverse, dynamic center for the arts that brings local, national, and international artists to town, and provides local children with quality arts and literacy programs throughout the year.

With your help we have continued to make progress in presenting a vibrant roster of concerts and performances like the International Heritage Music Series, Puppet Central Series, and other dynamic and engaging theater and arts events. Our building, a former Scandinavian church, continues to serve as gathering space for so many community and artistic groups each year to meet, rehearse, and perform.

Mayo Street Arts provides underserved children from our surrounding neighborhoods with a place that is accessible, safe, and fun. In our summer reading program for international youths, at kids concerts and puppet theater shows, and in our after school programs like Club Hip Hop, many children with the fewest resources benefit from quality arts learning opportunities.

With your help, we will continue to present inspiring music, theater, and art, and engage local youth in arts and education programs throughout the year.

Thank you for your support of the arts and helping to build strong, vibrant arts communities!

Sincerely,

Blainor McGough
