Promoting the arts in our community
Our mission statement reflects the Board’s desire to expand support of the arts to a broader community base. Our primary emphasis continues to be the promotion of a high-quality yearly festival, with a renewed commitment to produce an outstanding fine art show.
Giving Philosophy
The Anacortes Arts Festival strives to impact the whole community through its range of giving by advancing arts education, increasing participation in the arts in the community and better linking the arts community to the community at large. The Festival endeavors, over time, to fund a well-balanced group of grant requests and projects, some self-initiated, that involves a diverse group of people and diverse art activities. Giving includes grants and scholarships.
