Music Mentors

Unfortunately, we are cancelling our Music Mentors program at the Blue Wisp due to lack of particiapation.  It was an expensive program and attendance was very low, so we felt we had to cancel it.  We are currently considering other options.

We won a grant from ArtsWave !!!

This $1500 grant will help pay Cincinnati Cotton Club and King Recording Studio living legends Philip Paul, Ed Conley & Roland Ashby to lead our new weekly "Music Mentors" program at The Blue Wisp at 318 East Eight Street in Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

Our foundation has allocated $3,500 of our own funds toward this program.  This $5,000 total will fund the program for the first 8 weeks.  We have also applied for a $13,000+ grant from the Toyota Foundation to continue the program through the end of 2011.

This program is primarily being promoted within the Cincinnati, Covington and Newport city public elementary schools, but is open to the public. It will be held starting May 15, 2011 on Sundays from 3:30-5:30p at The Blue Wisp at 318 East Eight Street in Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. By Ohio law, parents/guardians must accompany anyone under 21.  Children who want to perform with the musicians must personally talk with Philip Paul to get permission and make arrangements. The public is welcome to attend and participate. Children and adults with children are admitted free. Adults without children have a $10 cover charge. We hope to run this through the summer, but only have funds for the first 8 weeks right now. Any suggestions for funding sources would be greatly appreciated.
