About The Timmons Arts Foundation
The Timmons Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization that assists the school system in continuing the visual arts and music programs, in addition to establishing new programs in schools where art and music are currently absent in their curriculum. In order to support the arts industry, we must assure that art education is present where it all begins...with our youth.

Founded in December, 2011, The Timmons Arts Foundation has been active in the communities they serve. The first TAF grant was awarded in April, 2012 to Chicot Elementary School's Arts and Music Program. The second initiative was to support families in need by providing over 2,000 backpacks and school supplies at the 1st Annual Timmons Arts Foundation Back To School Kids Fair. Efforts continued in Dallas, TX, where W. T. White High School was selected to receive proceeds from Designers Choice Fashion Preview Fashion Show - Dallas. In April 2013, TAF awarded an Alto Saxophone to a student from Mablevale Middle School in Arkansas.

The Timmons Arts Foundation builds its support from the community through events such as Designers Choice Fashion Preview, which not only provides exposure to local talent, but also provides exposure and support to a greater cause...the education, enrichment and empowerment of our children.
