OUR FALL FESTIVAL WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!
What a wonderful afternoon, and what a wonderful community!
Our Fall Festival brought together music, food, laughter, and so many familiar and new faces. And thanks to your generosity and participation, we have something worth celebrating!
Together, we raised approximately $1,700 after expenses to support the Evansville Art Center!
That's $1,700 going right back into supporting the arts, programming, and opportunities for our community.
A huge thank you to our volunteers, performers, sponsors, board members, and everyone who purchased a ticket, donated, helped behind the scenes, or simply came out to enjoy the afternoon.
And the good news doesn't stop there! Our membership continues to grow, and our newsletter subscriptions are increasing. More people are discovering the Art Center, participating in events, and becoming part of our creative community
We have a great team of board members, staff, volunteers, and supporters working together to make things happen. Their dedication, ideas, and willingness to roll up their sleeves are what keep us moving forward.
We're growing, we're learning, and we're excited about what's ahead!
BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED
The Evansville Arts Coalition is looking for a few new board members as current board terms come to an end.

We're looking for people who bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and a willingness to help shape what comes next.
Board service is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference, support creative programming, and help ensure the Art Center continues to grow for years to come.
