Welcome to the Fountain Arts Center, Inc.!

Genesis Festival

Dear fellow artists,

Greetings! I would like to tell you about an exciting event coming up on September 5 - 6, 2008. On that weekend, Western New York Concert Ministries will be hosting the Genesis Festival, an inspiring two days of gospel music, at the Allegany County Fairgrounds. Friday night will feature the three tenors of gospel music – Charles Billingsly, Marc Ivy, and Jason Crabb. On Saturday, praise bands will play hourly starting at 10AM throughout the day. The Benge Family and Downeast Boys will be spotlighted Saturday evening.

But there is more. The Fountain Arts Center will be hosting an art exhibit for regional artists who, like the musicians in the concerts, use their talents to share the gospel message. We are asking you to consider sharing your inspirational art by entering it in our exhibit.

The exhibit, held in conjunction with the concerts, will be at the fairgrounds, and open for viewing by hundreds of spectators, in between concert performances. Attached is a prospectus and registration form for the art exhibit, as well as a post card and poster. Would you consider printing out and displaying the poster, and hand out the card to another talented artist in your life? If they are interested in displaying work, have them make a copy of the prospectus and registration form, or download them from our website.

Come join us at the Genesis Festival, where we use art to reach hearts.

Sincerely,

Wendy Skinner, President
The Fountain Arts Center, Inc.
