For Anita Louise Horne Jenkins, the arts were essential to both the individual and the community. A way for people to expand their universe and feel connected and a sense of belonging. That belief shaped her philanthropy at Midland Center for the Arts, including the support she and her husband, Jim, provided to bring our region’s premiere of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to Midland Center in 2024. It was a milestone for our region, and a moment Anita cared deeply about: world-class artistry, cultural celebration, and community all in one night.
