Program

In 2016, we offered a three day songwriting workshop at the Allendale Correctional Institution (ACI) in South Carolina.

In 2019, the National Endowment for the Arts approved Musicambia for a grant in the amount of $10,000 for our songwriting program at ACI. We provided one weeklong songwriting workshop at ACI in October 2019 and were scheduled to offer a 2nd weeklong workshop in April 2020, but the second was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of September 2023, we have not been back allowed into ACI.
