WHAT?
An arts advocacy campaign to promote awareness about The Marble Collection’s free programs and services.
Spark the Arts should inspire, fire-up, and ignite people to action.
But most of all, it should give supporters a way to show their dedication.
WHY?
It has been demonstrated that art, in all its forms, contributes to youth development.
Yet budget cuts are eliminating creative classes in schools across the state, negatively impacting students’ academic achievement as well as their career and college preparedness.
The Marble Collection offers free arts education programs to schools and students in need. Help TMC keep the arts alive!

DID YOU KNOW?
The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They inspire us, foster creativity, help us express our values, build bridges between cultures and bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion or age.
WHO?
TMC is a nonprofit organization that publishes the ONLY statewide print and digital magazine of the arts for and by Massachusetts secondary students.
The Marble Collection: Massachusetts High School Magazine of the Arts features students’ literary, art, music and video works, weaving the arts back into the fabric of our community.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are enlisting ALL Massachusetts secondary students, grades 8 through 12, to join us in our mission and become TMC’s Arts Advocates to bear the torch of creativity!
