Serve the Eagan Art Community – Join the Board
We have openings on our board! We are looking for driven and passionate individuals. All of us on the board are either artists or art appreciators. More importantly, we believe that art is an important part of Eagan and we want to be a part of making that happen.
Read the board member responsibilities and then fill out an application so we can learn more about you. Contact Board President Christy Williams at christy@eaganartfestival.org with questions and with your application.
Serve on a Committee
If focusing on one aspect of our work is more your style, then one of our committees is an option. We currently have committees for marketing, volunteers, and fundraising. Do you have graphic design and social media skills? Try Marketing. Love recruiting people and delegating tasks? Try Volunteering. Ready to approach companies and give them an opportunity to support us? Then Fundraising is your spot. All the committees meet year-round as needed but do their heavy lifting in the spring and during the festival. Contact christy@eaganartfestival.org to find your spot!
