Dave's good deeds|Not Mr. Deeds

The Bama Works Fund of the Dave Matthews Band earmarked a $10,000 gift
for
two of the University Art Museum's youth programs.
The grant marks the first time that the fund, which is administered by
the
Charlottesville-Albemarle Community Foundation, has supported youth
programs.
The Early Visions Program and 2003 Summer Arts Camp are the two programs
that will benefit from the fund's donation.
Both programs offer hands-on arts programs and alternative learning
opportunities
for teenagers identified as "at-risk students."
Starting in 1998, the Early Visions Program has brought high school
students
together to meet in the museum for one hour each week during the spring
semester.
Throughout the semester, the students work with artists, strengthen
their visual
literacy and artistic skills and receive mentoring from University
student tutors.
Additionally, the program encourages students to plan for college and
careers.
This year's camp includes both middle and high-school students who will
study
photography and work with artists for six weeks.
The grant will allow museum leaders to begin planning already for the
2003 camp.
Museum officials, excited about the growth of the program over the
years, said they
anticipate adding movement and music to next year's sculptural theme.

Didn't he also buy a large amount of land in Virgina for conservation. I'm
pretty sure I saw it in Rolling Stone..... anyone?
