GREENEVILLE<\/strong> \u2013 Tusculum University<\/a> has recently earned additional support for its stellar arts program with helpful grants from the Walmart Community Foundation and the Tennessee Arts Commission.<\/h3>\n

The Tennessee Arts Commission provided Tusculum Arts Outreach<\/a> with $4,760 to support Tusculum\u2019s costume shop. In addition, Walmart in Greeneville contributed $1,000 to back Theatre-at-Tusculum\u2019s programs, such as this year\u2019s performances of \u201cYoung Frankenstein\u201d and \u201cThe Tragedy of Macbeth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for our partnerships with the Tennessee Arts Commission and Walmart, which help us enhance the community\u2019s quality of life and provide an outlet for performers and behind-the-scenes personnel,\u201d said Brian Ricker, assistant director of Arts Outreach. \u201cIn this challenging period due to the coronavirus, the ability to entertain audiences and bring a smile to their faces is meaningful. The state and Walmart are helping us accomplish that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ricker said the Walmart funds will help overcome some of the lost revenue from limiting audience sizes at performances as a safety measure. He said the company\u2019s Greeneville operation has demonstrated its continuing commitment to the community\u2019s well-being. Walmart is also reinforcing the value of Theatre-at-Tusculum to Greene County and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n

Reviewing the Tennessee Arts Commission grant, Ricker said Tusculum will be able to continue running an exceptional costume shop under Erin Schultz\u2019s leadership. Through her efforts, Tusculum creates dynamic costumes for its own performances and shares them with community members. The costume shop does not charge rental fees to teachers, schools and other organizations who rely on Tusculum.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur longtime connection with the Tennessee Arts Commission is great example of the state setting the stage for premier costume work by Tusculum, which is then able to pay it forward to the community,\u201d said Wayne Thomas, executive director of Arts Outreach and dean of the College of Civic and Liberal Arts. \u201cThis creates an environment in which all community sectors are culturally enriched.\u201d<\/p>\n
