"We want to have more community input," says Joan Tezak, Executive Director, "and build our annual Giving fund. We feel that we can do this best by encouraging membership." Members will be first to receive communications from the Festival and will be invited to participate in the annual meeting.
Members can join for as little as $25 or as much as they wish and will receive a statement from the Festival for IRS purposes. This is an opportunity to be a part of the newly energized Anacortes Arts Festival. Download an enrollment form (66k PDF) or view our latest brochure (272k PDF)
