This challenge grant initiative hits at a pivotal moment for MAC as it seeks to expand its arts programming for area youth. The Monroe Arts Center is grateful for the support it has found in its community for the last 51 years. As MAC’s Executive Director, I believe we have a diamond here in southern Wisconsin in terms of arts programming through the Monroe Arts Center. Please note that donations are tax deductible and every dollar donated to the Callahan Youth Fund helps us create continued arts programming for our community’s youth. — Marie Perry is the Executive Director of the Monroe Arts Center.
