Mission: Original music workshop, dba national sawdust, an artist-led non-profit venue, is a place for exploration and discovery, a place where emerging and established artists can share their music with serious music fans and casual listeners alike.
Programs: The main accomplishment of the fye 8/31/17 was the production and presentation of 323 musical and multimedia events that were attended by 23,256 people.
