Colville, WA Chewelah, WA – Two local NON-PROFITS MERGE
The FAT TONES, a Spokane-based blues band with a large fan base, will take the stage at 5 pm until 9 pm. SEPTEMBER 22, SATURDAY IN CHEWELAH, WA Through talks over the last several months, it was determined that Colville Arts Foundation and Greenwood Institute d’Art of Chewelah would join forces and merge their many talents, effective immediately. “Pooling our resources seemed a natural thing to do”, states Gloria de los Santos, Director of Colville Arts Foundation. “The two arts-based non-profits share the same goals, vision, and challenges. Gina and I thought it would be to our advantage to merge our non-profits and share our resources.” Gina Greenwood agrees, “I’ve known Gloria for many years, and know that we can successfully join forces as we have the same goal—namely to facilitate expression through the arts for all community members”. To that end, the two non-profits are in the planning stages of their first event: WELLNESS THROUGH THE ARTS Find your passion . . . LIVE IT, BE IT, MOVE IT! An ARTFEST with a difference!
