317 Main Community Music Center

2024 Goals

With our newly enhanced facilities, we strive to provide our students and instructors with the best possible learning environment to support personal growth and musical creativity. We aspire to broaden accessibility by continuing to offer financial aid and build collaborative, sustainable partnerships with schools and nonprofits to provide expanded access to musical enrichment in Maine. We aim to enhance our community’s cultural landscape by hosting a series of engaging concerts, workshops and masterclasses, fostering a dynamic exchange of musical ideas and experiences. Through these initiatives, we seek not only to foster creative expression, but also to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive community where creativity thrives and every individual has the opportunity to explore their passion for music.

Fundraising events/Opportunities

Our community music center is poised to expand its impact through strategic fundraising initiatives next year. We have a vibrant concert series showcasing local talent alongside guest performers, with ticket sales and sponsorships earmarked for supporting our programs. Additionally, we’re excited to host our 20th anniversary Henryfest, an annual music festival that celebrates students, teaching artists as well as regional acts creating a platform for community engagement. 317 Main will also present our annual House Party that serves as our hallmark development event, bringing together the community to raise crucial funds while celebrating community enrichment.

Giving Opportunities

Join us in making a meaningful difference through music, and together, we can create memorable experiences that resonate throughout our community. As we prepare to elevate our impact through various events next year, we are actively seeking corporate sponsors to partner with us in supporting these initiatives. We invite you to support our annual fund, a cornerstone of our community music center’s sustainability and growth. Your contribution will directly empower us to expand our educational programs, enhance our facilities and reach more aspiring musicians of all ages.
