Merrimack Hall Performing Arts Center

At Merrimack Hall, we believe that every individual has special needs. Some needs may be visible on the outside, while others may be hidden inside. Our mission is to provide visual and performing arts education and cultural activities to children and adults with special needs. Our programs are designed to provide a safe and inclusive environment where our participants can express themselves creatively and explore their unique talents.

Our History

Merrimack Hall was founded in 2008 with a single weekly dance class for 10 children with special needs. Over the years, we have grown to offer 23 arts-related classes that serve hundreds of individuals with special needs from Huntsville, Madison County, and across North Alabama. Our programs have been designed to enrich the social and creative needs of all who participate.
