Arizona Choral Arts Association

The Arizona Choral Arts Association (ACAA) is a non-profit organization focused on promoting and supporting choral arts in southern Arizona. Established with the goal of enriching the community through music, ACAA serves as a resource and support system for community choral groups.

Mission and Vision

The mission of ACAA is to provide educational benefits and promote choral performances within the diverse southern Arizona community. It achieves this by collaborating with local and national artists, commissioning new music, and supporting the development of emerging choral groups not yet established as independent 501(c)(3) organizations. ACAA's vision is to make southern Arizona a premier destination for choral music in the state.

Activities

ACAA supports community choral events and provides opportunities for choruses to network, collaborate, and share resources. This includes enabling member groups to market their performances more effectively, thus enhancing their visibility and growth. The organization welcomes new choruses regularly, offering a platform for diverse groups to flourish within the community.

History

The ACAA was founded to serve as a unifying force for singers, choral groups, and audiences since its inception in 2013. Over the years, it has continued to expand its reach and support a wide range of choral activities across southern Arizona.

Impact

By fostering collaboration and shared resources, ACAA plays a crucial role in the development of the local choral scene. Its efforts help in promoting diverse musical expressions, contributing to the cultural richness of the region. While specific grant activities are not extensively detailed, ACAA's commitment to community engagement and artistic development remains a cornerstone of its operations.
