With a single gift, you can help us do what we do today even better tomorrow.
If you love the Arts Festival and have a passion for creating a community-wide arts ecosystem with our nationally acclaimed Arts Festival at its heart, please consider joining our Celebrations Circle, whose members have committed to a bequest to the Arts Festival in the future.
One of those members is Renata Engel, a past-President of the organization who is grateful to give a gift that will amplify such a meaningful collective impact.
“Coming out of our pandemic years, I have powerful memories of a joy-filled Thursday night of the 2022 Arts Festival. As Leland and I sat on Old Main lawn, mesmerized by the beautiful music of Eric Ian Farmer and his fellow musicians, we watched children dancing with wild abandon, people across generations relaxing and just enjoying being together. I turned to Leland and said with a sigh, this is what it’s supposed to feel like. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is many things, but to know that we are contributing to something that ensures its presence for every generation that follows means that we are contributing to a legacy of joy-filled nights of beautiful music and streets filled with visually compelling, captivating, inspirational, and whimsical art.”
