“There are adults who enjoyed playing an instrument when they were in high school or college but had to lay it down because of the busyness of family or career,” said Ron Alley, CEO of Carpe Artista. “We want to encourage them to pick it up and enjoy playing once again.”
Carpe Artista’s purpose is to create positive culture globally by developing local arts communities through the nurturing and training of creatives of all ages. Carpe Artista owns the award winning Carpe Cafe’ at 115 Front Street in Smyrna and has been active working with the town of Smyrna on the revitalization of the historic Depot District in Smyrna by infusing the physical area with the arts and the development of an arts training center at 101 Front Street, Smyrna.
