TAO Mission: Sharing the Joy of the Arts
Our mission thrives on financial support from individuals and businesses like you
The need for music and arts in shelters, nursing homes, hospitals and other dependent-care programs has never been greater.
Tidewater Arts Outreach has a waiting list of artists wanting to serve, and locations wanting to receive our services. There also is a need to educate caregivers on the benefits of arts in health settings, and to train artists in effective, interactive approaches to creative arts programs for people with special needs. Help us be a part of the solution - every donation makes a difference. THANK YOU.
