Words from Executive Director Denise Tucker:

We’re proud to be the catalyst, but we know none of this happened without you, our community and residents, our partners and small businesses, our mighty staff of four, our dynamic festival volunteers, the steering committee team and our incredible Arts Council Board. To all members of the Greater Augusta Arts Council, our year-round donors, and every single sponsor who views the arts as a wise investment: thank you. A festival this size takes WORK (all caps), and your belief fuels the sparkle.

 

As Executive Director of the Greater Augusta Arts Council, I am thrilled to walk this festival journey with you.

-Denise Tucker
