Our Amazing Volunteers!
The all-volunteer Festival and Foundation Boards meet monthly to manage programs including scholarships, educational and community art grants, public art gifts, and the Festival event. Both boards recruit for additional volunteers and fundraising sources to enhance existing programs and to create new beneficiary programs that are compatible with the mission. The Foundation has no overhead; 100% of funds pass directly back to the community.
We are always happy to meet passionate people who may be interested in joining our Festival or Foundation team. If this is you, get in touch!
