This Thanksgiving, AEC is reflecting on a year full of achievements that simply would NOT have been possible without YOUR generous support.

THIS YEAR, WITH YOUR HELP...

• 10,000 people from over 60 countries came together to celebrate diversity at CULUTRE FEST

• A community-wide effort to send shoes and supplies to Haiti was inspired by a BACK ROW FILM SERIES event

• 479 books were purchased for local high school students during the CONFERENCE ON SOUTHERN LITERATURE

• 26 classrooms were enriched with hands-on learning through an artist RESIDENCY program, free of charge
  
  
• 250 teachers were recognized for their efforts to nurture and encourage creative writing in the classroom during the YOUNG SOUTHERN STUDENT WRITERS awards ceremony
  

THANKS TO YOU, the Arts & Education Council has remained one of Chattanooga's premier and long-standing organizations, providing a multitude of artistic experiences for our community since 1952.

THANK YOU for helping us make a difference in so many lives. We gratefully appreciate your support and wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.
