Friends of Auburn Music Education, Inc. (F.A.M.E.) is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the music and
theater programs of the Auburn Public Schools, also known as
Auburn Fine Arts Department.
“I believe arts education in music, theater, dance, and the visual arts is one of the most creative ways we have to find the gold that is buried just beneath the surface. They (children) have an enthusiasm for life a spark of creativity, and vivid imaginations that need training – training that prepares them to become confident young men and women.”
– Richard W. Riley, Former US Secretary of Education
