The Monticello Music Club has been in existence for 90 years, having been founded in 1923. Affiliated with the Arkansas Federation of Music Clubs and the National Federation of Music Clubs since 1924, the local club’s purpose is “to develop the culture of musical art in the city of Monticello”. In addition to hosting monthly meetings spotlighting local musicians, the club sponsors a college scholarship for a local musician each year to further their musical studies, and supports Inspiration Point Fine Arts Colony in Eureka Springs.

The upcoming meeting of the Monticello Music Club is open to the public. Admission is free and everyone is invited to a great evening of live music.
