Board Members Wanted

Purple Hills

festivalbannerThe 2017 Nominating Committee is seeking volunteers to join the Board of Directors.

The Purple Hills Arts & Heritage Society, a registered Ontario charity, has been part of this village’s culture since 1977. Each year, we build on the vision of volunteers before us — people who cared deeply about community and proudly gave their time and energy to cultivate and celebrate arts and heritage activities in Creemore and surrounding area.

The commitment to fulfill the responsibilities of a Director includes regular meetings (including the Annual General Meeting) and involvement in at least one event or program each year. If you are interested, please get in touch with us.

New Directors are elected by the General Membership at the Annual General Meeting on April 9, 2017.

Thank you

 

It’s a wrap!

The volunteer committee for the 5th annual Creemore Festival of the Arts wishes to thank everyone who supported and enjoyed the exhibits and shows around town last weekend. We hope the work you saw and the people you met made you feel connected to the community and inspired by the creativity that surrounds us.

We couldn’t do it without you – our members, sponsors, volunteers and, of course, the artists and their weekend hosts.
