Supporting the Arts at Ligon

Ligon Arts Boosters (LAB) is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to promoting arts education at Ligon GT/AIG Magnet Middle School

A passion for the Arts

We support all NINE of the arts departments at Ligon through fundraising, volunteerism, and advocacy.

Who We Are

LAB was founded by a group of parents in 1983. We are run by a board of volunteers and powered entirely by donations.

What We Do

In 2023-2024, we have funded teacher stipends for all NINE arts departments, purchased new keyboards for the piano lab, paid for security at concerts, bought African drums, and so much more!

Get Involved

Donations go DIRECTLY to programs. Donate here or become a member. LAB is always in need of volunteers to help at concerts, plan events, or assist with projects. Contact us at ligonartsboosters@gmail.com to find out how you can get involved!

Unparalleled Arts Instruction

Ligon is lucky to have an impressive arts team with a wealth of experience.
