Once in a Lifetime …
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: WE NEED YOU TO PITCH IN SO STUDENTS FROM TENNESSEE CAN GO TO BELGIUM TO PERFORM/LEARN WHILE TOURING THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE.
At the end of May, Borderless Arts participants, chaperones, and representatives will travel to Belgium to visit at least six schools and cultural organizations to demonstrate how they use the arts to enhance their education and encourage their professional development.
The group will also share art they have created as tribute to the anniversry of the Battle of the Bulge – a Quilt of Valor, glass poppies, and airplane nose art renderings. In addition to the presentations, the Borderless Arts group will visit some of the historical landmarks they’ve been studying.
This cultural exchange is a significant opportunity for Tennessee to shine as a leader in disabilities and education. It is also the opportunity of a lifetime for these young adults with disabilities.
Borderless Arts TN is a statewide nonprofit that works with people with disabilities through the arts. They are the current Governor’s Arts Award winner in Arts Leadership.
Public Consulting Group (PCG) and the HappyGuide community has been partnering with Borderless Arts TN for many years! For holiday season 2023, we all had a great time at the Nashville Symphony's Joss Stone concert.
Young adults with disabilities in the Borderless Arts Tennessee program will pay tribute to the 80th anniversary of the WWII Battle of the Bugle through dance, music and visual art. The US Embassy in Belgium learned about Borderless Arts’ program and invited participants to Belgium to present their tribute in person!

PLEASE NOTE: PCG will match employee donations up to $5,000!!!!
