The Dixie Youth Theatre is
sponsored in part by a grant from the Tennessee Arts
Commission. When the Tennessee Arts Commission was
created in 1967, it was given a special mandate by
the General Assembly to stimulate and encourage the
presentation of performing, visual and literary arts
throughout the state and to encourage public
interest in the cultural heritage of Tennessee.
Through a variety of programs, the Commission has
encouraged excellence in artistic expression through
the state’s artists and arts organizations. That
commitment has continued to expand through the years
to ensure that the citizens of Tennessee have access
to, and the opportunity to participate in the arts.
