We’re working to bring people with special needs into the life of our community in Huntsville, Alabama.
The focus of Merrimack’s mission is to provide visual and performing arts education to children and adults with special needs, but the heart of Merrimack is the community of lives that have been connected through the arts. That’s what inclusion means to us.
Merrimack allows all of our community to unite and live together, making each other’s lives better in the process. As our co-founder Debra Jenkins said, “Normal is a dryer setting.” Every one of us has special needs. Some are harder to spot than others, but all of us deserve equal opportunities to live a live filled with purposeful connection.
