Favorite thing about Meadows: The array of interests that unite the community. Nothing is as welcoming as walking through the beautiful front doors of the Owens Arts Center and being greeted by dance practices or music rehearsals.

Lastly, nothing is quite as personal as studying the arts alongside others in your division who hold similar passions that branch and inspire niches.
