Beginning Our Return to In-Person Programming

RTA was one of the first programs the Department of Corrections allowed to return to facilities. Our program staff has been meeting members at each facility to plan for in-person programming in September. Participants will also be meeting in small groups for keyboard and improv workshops using lessons recorded on DVD by RTA teaching artists.

RTA Awarded NEA Grant

RTA was awarded its first grant from National Endowment for the Arts!   "These grants support arts projects that use the arts to unite and heal in response to current events; celebrate our creativity and cultural heritage; invite mutual respect for differing beliefs and values; and enrich humanity." - NEA   We are thrilled to receive this prestigious award.
