The Friends of Allied Arts Advisory Council is made up of a group
of dedicated volunteers that work to promote
and facilitate arts opportunites in
our community and schools. In addition to their fundraising efforts
they are also the primary resource for hospitality at exhibition
openings and for box office assistance at performing arts events.
Every fall the
"Friends" kick-off their annual membership campaign. According to
JoAnn Burns, incoming President of the Friends "Almost all of the
funds we realize from memberships go toward special arts projects in
the schools and toward continued development of the Marlor Arts
Center facilities. Memberships forms for the coming year will arrive
around September 1 and will include information for anyone wishing
to volunteer with the Friends."
ART ADVENTURE
This year the
Friends, in partnership with the Milledgeville Civic Womans's Club,
will sponsor ART ADVENTURE, a project whose goal is to bring art
classes to all 4th grade students in the public school system.
Friends Advisory Council member and Civic Woman's Club Art Committee
Chair Sara O'Neal says, "After a very sucessful pilot program at
Creekside Elementary last year, we are eager to move ahead with ART
ADVENTURE." Anyone wishing to volunteer or support ART ADVENTURE is
encouraged to call Allied Arts at 478-452-3950. |
