Founder & Future
Save The Arts Evansville was founded by Mary Smith, who was inspired by her great niece's passion for music and the financial barriers that prevented her from pursuing her dreams. Her great niece’s mother struggled to afford the costs associated with her violin lessons and musical performances. This experience motivated Mary to start Save The Arts Evansville, with the goal of providing financial assistance and educational opportunities to artists of all ages in the local community.
Looking to the future, Mary envisions Save The Arts Evansville expanding its reach and impact. With the guidance of the Board of Directors, she hopes to collaborate with other individuals and organizations who share her passion for supporting arts, to provide even more assistance and opportunities for artists to showcase their talents. Through these efforts, Mary believes that Save The Arts Evansville can make a lasting difference in the lives of local artists, by empowering them to pursue their artistic passions and achieve their full potential.
