Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people -the beauty within themselves" Langston Hughes
My love for art began at a young age with my first introduction being to Faith Ringgold. Her quits told a story and opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of art. Helping youth gain exposure and access to the world of art is an important mission for me personally as well as The Society.

Tamara Albury
Charter Member

Tamara Albury has always been an arts patron since her first Broadway play of Les Miserables, to her stint in improvisational teen theater in high school. As an educator, Ms. Albury believes that the arts is a way of expression that transcends socioeconomic status and racial ethnic boundaries and feels that it is important for students to gain an appreciation of them. Students need to appreciate the opera, ballet and theater, because it does not benefit them to be successful academically, if they are not able to relate culturally.
