I was thinking that it may be a good idea to blog about the charity, Germantown Arts Alliance, in which I will be donating a portion of my art sales to from the show on the 23rd of Sept. I am very proud and excited to be working with a group such as this.
The History of Germantown Arts Alliance
In 1987, the Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen established the Germantown Arts Commission for the purpose of allocating funds from the City of Germantown for community arts organizations. Included was a long-range goal to make the Commission into an independent body within five years.
In 1992, knowing that an autonomous non-profit organization could function more effectively than a government controlled agency in securing increased funding for the arts, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and a group of Germantown arts and civic leaders established the Germantown Arts Alliance.
Funding sources for the Germantown Arts Alliance have included the City of Germantown, Shelby County Government, Tennessee Arts Commission, Corporate Business and Individual Donors, Foundations and Fundraising Events.
What we do . . .

whose mission is to promote, enrich
