What we are
The Upper Cumberland Arts Alliance (UCAA) is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization located in Middle Tennessee.
Our Goal
The main goal of UCAA is to encourage, promote, and facilitate the
arts of the Upper Cumberland area. The Upper Cumberland consists of
14 counties:
Cannon, Clay, Cumberland, Dekalb, Fentress, Jackson,
Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Smith, Van Buren, Warren, and
White.
UCAA
was founded in 1989 but
was last revitalized in 2005. It
is an organization that will nurture, celebrate, and assist individual artists and other art organizations.
One of our goals is to reach and enrich all the people in this
Tennessee region with the beauty and diversity of ALL art forms.
