Our undying gratitude goes to the over 175 volunteers who gave time at a gate, in the gallery, in the artist booths, the Kids' Zone, on the grounds set-up, clean-up, on the phones or in the office during the 2011 Summer Arts Festival. It took their help to make this festival the most successful ever!! Over 16,000 visitors came through our doors in just 3 days...the Art Vendor Booths were full....the food yummy....the local talent amazing....and we all had a blast!


Creative Castoffs Sale: A group of 4 – 6 people are needed to help organize our 2011 "Creative Cast-offs Sale” - a sale where people can donate art for resale to raise money for the Arts Center. Duties would include setting a date and location, contacting people to donate art, publicity, setting up the event, staffing it.

March Madness Membership Drive: A group of 4 – 6 people are needed to organize a March UVAA membership drive. We would like to launch an organized drive to recruit new members to the Arts Center.

Marie Rasmussen and J Lynn Peterson, making it happen!
