This spring, now through July 18, the Acadiana Center for the Arts will be collecting and repairing instruments through its Play It Again Instrument Recycling Program.
With support from Chevron, the AcA is now collecting old instruments that are no longer being used and repair them so they can be given to schools for children who may not have the financial means to buy an instrument of their own. The revival of donated instruments gives the gift of music to worthy students that would otherwise be denied the opportunity to participate in music education.
The AcA is currently seeking various instruments ranging from flutes and violins, to trumpets and guitars. If you have an instrument that is not being used and is in relatively decent condition, Play It Again drop off locations will be able to receive instruments for those interested in participating. Instrument donations can be made to Lafayette Music Company and Acadiana Center for the Arts.
All donations are tax deductible and donors will receive written documentation of their gift.
