Behind the Numbers
Every dollar that comes through SWMI turns into something you can see and hear on Opelika's streets.
Our programs put working musicians on stage, in classrooms, and in front of audiences year-round. The return reaches well beyond the music itself — filling downtown venues, drawing visitors into local businesses, and giving students their first real look at a life spent making music.
