JAM Corps is a new music-based program designed to build
connection, creativity, and community among local veterans. Through weekly jam
sessions held at the local VFW, veterans are invited to bring their
instruments, share their talents, and make music together in a welcoming and
low-pressure environment.

No matter what your experience level, JAM Corps is about
showing up, connecting, and enjoying the power of music alongside others who
share similar experiences.

These sessions will culminate in a special performance at
the Marion Theatre on November 10, the day before Veterans Day. Participation
in the performance is entirely optional. Veterans may choose to engage solely
in the weekly sessions without performing publicly.

JAM Corps is funded in part by Creative Forces®: NEA
Military Healing Arts Network, an initiative of the National Endowment in
partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Creative
Forces Community Engagement Grant program is managed by Mid-America Arts
Alliance.

SAVE THE DATE – Join us for THE MANE EVENT; an unforgettable evening at Applaud the Arts: 25th Anniversary Gala, a silver-tie celebration marking 25 years of artistic excellence and cultural impact in Marion County. Hosted by the Marion Cultural Alliance, this signature event has long been a beloved community tradition — and this year, we elevate the experience in honor of our Silver Anniversary.

Guests will enjoy an elegant, equestrian-inspired evening featuring fine dining, curated entertainment, immersive décor, and meaningful connection with the region’s most passionate supporters of the arts. As our milestone celebration, this year’s gala expands its atmosphere and programming to reflect the legacy we honor and the future we are building together.

We are proud to recognize our Presenting Sponsor, JOAN PLETCHER REAL ESTATE NETWORK, whose leadership and commitment make this extraordinary evening possible and whose support helps sustain arts and culture throughout our community.

A highlight of the evening is the presentation of our Cultural Grant Awards, where local arts nonprofit organizations receive vital funding that fuels performances, exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach for the year ahead. Guests will witness firsthand the direct impact of their support as grant recipients are celebrated during the evening.

The evening will also feature our annual Art Awards, honoring outstanding advocates, educators, and community leaders whose dedication strengthens and champions the arts in Marion County.

For 25 years, MCA has worked to connect creativity with community. Applaud the Arts is more than a gala — it is a celebration of impact, advocacy, and the power of the arts to inspire, unite, and transform.

We invite you to dress in your finest attire (guests are encouraged to wear silver), raise a glass under the silver glow, and join us for a night where celebration meets purpose
