SRBPS-M sponsors Marshall Visual Art Center after school classes

By Michael Smith

The Marshall office of Siebman, Reynolds, Burg, Phillips & Smith, LLP is proud to be a sponsor of the Marshall Visual Art Center's free after-school classes for youth from the Boys and Girls Club of the Big Pines and scholarships for Summer Art Camp.

The MVAC is a city-operated art center created within the shell of the old City Laundry downtown (think loft space) several years back when I was on the city commission here which provides space for local artists, as well as hosting art shows, classes, and numerous civic events (it's even a popular spot for weddings).  My wife Jamie and I have both taken art classes there, and our oldest Grayson attended summer art camp a couple of years back.  The local Boys & Girls' Club (which is, coincidentally, run by my successor as district 6 commissioner, who also grew up in the same house in Marshall that I did - small, small world) does a great job getting local youth involved in the art program, and we're proud to play a small part in helping make that happen.
