McKinney Center Director, Theresa Hammons states, “We are extremely thankful to our current members whose financial support allowed us to be an essential resource to our community during this time. The goal of our 2026 membership drive is to grow, to expand our reach, and continue to endure as that vital resource the region can draw upon through our most challenging and most joyous of times. Expanding our membership through this drive is critical as we continue to move forward and transition toward a regular routine. Each new membership, and each renewal, is an investment in the McKinney Center’s future, as we strive to be a space in Historic Jonesborough that allows the arts to thrive for all people, to create community, to allow individuals to innovate and express themselves, and to provide space for constant learning.”
