Johns Family Arts Foundation Inc.
At the Johns Family Arts Foundation, Inc., we are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of artists. As the non-profit arm of the renowned Johns Violin Company in Peachtree City, Georgia, our foundation honors the legacy of Dean and Elaine Johns, whose profound influence and dedication to the arts have left a lasting impact on their children and the broader community.
Our Mission
The mission of the Johns Family Arts Foundation is to support arts education for young people. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore their artistic potential regardless of their financial background. To achieve this, we focus on providing:
- Musical Instruments: Donations of violins, cellos, and other instruments to budding musicians.
- Music Lessons: Funding for private lessons to hone their skills and foster a lifelong love of music.
- Art Supplies: Essential supplies for visual arts to encourage creativity and self-expression.
- Visual Arts Lessons: Instruction in various visual art forms to broaden their artistic horizons.
- Scholarships: Financial assistance for advanced training and education in the arts.
Our Inspiration
The foundation is named in honor of Dean and Elaine Johns, parents of Chris Johns, owner of Johns Violin Company and a talented cellist. Dean Johns had a distinguished career as an art educator and administrator in the Charlotte Mecklenburg schools, shaping the minds and talents of countless students. Elaine Johns, a gifted violinist, and dedicated string teacher, inspired many young musicians through her work in the Charlotte Mecklenburg schools and at Charlotte Country Day School. Both parents are now retired, but their legacy of dedication to the arts lives on through the foundation.
