Two years ago Fayetteville Mardi Gras first partnered with Music Moves Arkansas for our annual Fat Saturday Parade of Fools, with Music Moves providing volunteers, publicity, and even a college marching band. The organization has continued their valuable support, and this year we are thrilled to announce that Music Moves has agreed to be our very first “Presenting Sponsor“! This valuable support allows us to get closer to our goal of our largest charitable contribution ever!
Music Moves strives to make Black music accessibile to students and to our communities through performance and education. From concerts to classrooms to community celebrations, Music Moves is making a difference in Northwest Arkansas.
From their website:
Our mission is to provide accessible and high-quality music education, fostering a unified community celebrating the richness of Black musical traditions. Music Moves is dedicated to advancing the appreciation, understanding, and preservation of Black Music through education and performance.
