Festival of Arts Seeks New 'Highly Motivated' Volunteers

The 2014 edition of the Marblehead Festival of Arts has just entered the rearview mirror and now organizers are looking toward 2015, already assembling a slate of officers and directors. Organizers are looking for highly motivated individuals to serve on the Board of Directors to lead the group’s efforts and help shape its future.

“2015 is a unique year in that we will be producing our 50th Anniversary Arts Festival,” said Robb Macomber, chairman of the Nominating Committee said in an announcement. “We have a real opportunity to not only celebrate our accomplishments, but to begin to shape our future and are looking for strong candidates to be a part of this.”

There are numerous ways that various skills can be a value as a board member. Specifically, anyone with organizational, management, business or leadership skills or others that know database, information management, finance, business development, fundraising or long range planning and are looking for ways to contribute to the community are being sought.

The Marblehead Festival of Arts, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization comprised of area residents who volunteer their time and services in a variety of capacities and positions. The organization fosters artistic events and activities in the town of Marblehead, producing an annual Arts Festival comprised of fine art and performing art exhibits and events as well as other art related events throughout the year, and contributes to the development of other local organizations and art projects.

The deadline to get in touch with the Nominating Committee is Tuesday Aug. 26. Send a note to secretary@marbleheadfestival.org and include your name, email or phone number, areas of interest, and a little bit about you. Someone from the Festival Board will be in touch.
