The RawTuba Foundation is dedicated to fostering positive change in our society through music and visual arts experiences for all ages. Committed to assisting rural and underserved individuals, we provide friendship, creativity and a sense of belonging. Our initiatives include concerts, lectures, free arts classes and stimulating activities that encourage excellence and expand possibilities for all.
In Fall 2023, we launched free after-school arts programming for children in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, and we continue to grow and expand our offerings. We welcome you to join us in our mission to make a difference through the transformative power of arts education.
“The RawTuba Foundation is a place where all generations can be uplifted through involvement in the arts and where exploration of the imagination leads to endless possibilities for all. We envision an oasis where the word Impossible becomes I’m Possible through community and fellowship in the arts.”
