ASC's Arts in Action program is truly running at full speed!

I just have to give a nice plug to our Arts in Action Education & Outreach Program and it's director, aka "brains of the operation", Kimberly Kirklin.  Since I'm in the marketing & programming world, I don't always know what's going on in our education department.  What I do know is there's always a TON happening.  

Just take a look at this upcoming schedule of events for the next week - Yes, all of these events in one (1) week!

Personally, I think that's pretty impressive!   ASC Ticket Buyers & Donors make this possible.  When you purchase a ticket to the ASC, you are helping to build the Arts in Action program.  Most of these programs are offered completely free of charge to schools and students.  Through your support, the ASC even provides free bus transportation for many events! 



So, the next time you buy tickets to a show at the ASC, give yourself a pat on the back...together we're making sure Birmingham's kids get the arts education they deserve!
