Instruments from the Springfield Area Arts Council Instrument Drive that will be used for music lessons at the Garvey Tubman Cultural Center and other organziations.

Both organizations are heavily involved in the arts community. The Garvey Tubman Center had the opportunity to give music classes through funds provided by the Levitt Foundation Amp Grant which The Springfield Area Arts Council has been instrumental in helping to secure.
