Patron of the Arts Program


Patron involvement is one of the most important factors in assuring that this highly rated show continues to be available, not only to yourself, but to everyone in our community. It is the generous artist purchases by our Patrons that ensures the continued and growing involvement of over 200 quality artists each year. As a Patron, you pledge your desired amount of artist purchase support. The festival retains $75 to assist in underwriting exclusive Patron events and benefits. You receive the remainder in Patron Purchase Vouchers which you spend directly with the artist for your choice of pieces during the festival.

PATRON PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

• Invitation for two to the exclusive Unveiling Party in early fall.
