About WAMS
We Are Music Salado. A nonprofit built around a simple belief: that a town with a strong arts life is a better town.
Who we are
WAMS is a registered nonprofit serving Salado, Texas. We support local musicians, fund arts programming, and steward Salado's standing as a Texas Music Friendly Community — a state designation that recognizes cities actively building a music-friendly environment.
We're run by people who live here, perform here, and believe Salado's character is worth protecting and investing in.
