Music Encounters was founded in 2002 as City Strings in response to public school budget cuts. Targeting chronically low-income neighborhoods, the program has expanded to include City Drums (2020) and City Strums (2021), serving 130+ children every year. Weekly classes aid in the cognitive development of students and position them for significant academic achievement through fully subsidized lessons but for a modest instrument fee, however, no child is ever turned away for an inability to pay.
Augustana Arts was recently selected to work with Denver Metro Chamber’s Leadership Foundation to launch "ArtiStandza-A Voice for the Arts." This multi-sensory, bi-lingual project presents artist-painted/designed black metal music stands at strategic locations through metro-Denver to bring awareness to the benefits of music in the life of a child.
