Selectmen decided at their January 14 meeting to keep the Munroe School an arts education center, but are not guaranteeing that the Munroe Center for the Arts will be its tenant. Two ways to help us stay: let Selectmen know you want us to stay & donate so we can address their concerns with capital repairs! We'll let you know about timelines as soon as we hear, but we are assuming we will be here for the long run.
A Gift for the Arts & Lex Scholarships
Munroe inaugurates its new A Gift for the Arts tax-deductible donations program. We'll take many items you may have around the house and turn them into funds for educational programming, community events, and sprucing up Munroe.
20% of profits from A Gift For the Arts goes into a fund for scholarships for Lexington residents of all ages to attend Munroe Center programs.
Please do not bring items to Munroe; we cannot store anything here and we can only take certain items. CLICK HERE for more information about A Gift for the Arts, call, or email Gift@MunroeCenter.org.
