Nashville, April 21, 2025 — Music City Youth in the Arts is proud to announce it has been awarded a generous grant from Metro Arts, the Nashville Office of Arts + Culture. This meaningful investment comes at a pivotal time for the organization as it prepares for an exciting 2025 season and continues its mission to inspire and engage through the performing arts.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Metro Arts for this support,” said Mike Webb, Executive Director of Music City Youth in the Arts. “This grant is more than just financial assistance — it’s a recognition of the value of our work and its impact on the Nashville community and beyond.”
