FPCAF Is Looking for New Board Members
The Festival Place Cultural Arts Foundation (FPCAF) is currently seeking enthusiastic community members to join our Board of Directors.
FPCAF is dedicated to supporting visual and performing artists through grants and scholarships, with a strong focus on youth in Strathcona County. Each year, we fundraise through three signature events, with all proceeds directed toward helping young people pursue their creative passions and build meaningful futures in the arts.
Our board is a working board, meaning directors play an active role in fundraising, advocacy, and community engagement. The board currently includes 14 directors, and our bylaws allow for up to 17 directors, creating an exciting opportunity to welcome new voices, perspectives, and skill sets.
As a board member, you will:
- Help raise awareness of FPCAF and its impact in the community
- Support fundraising events that directly benefit local artists and youth
- Contribute to the growth and sustainability of arts and culture in Strathcona County
- Be part of a collaborative, passionate group of arts advocates
Appointed directors will serve a short initial term (until our next Annual General Meeting). At that time, directors are welcome to submit their name for formal election to the board.
