Participating members work together to organize and fund the event, meeting many times throughout the course of a year and maintaining a loosely structured governing body. In the recent past we have also received financial support from various local institutions such as Easthampton Savings Bank, Florence Savings Bank, the Easthampton Cultural Council, and the Daily Hampshire Gazette. Many of the participating artists are frequent contributors to the dozens of local art auctions and charitable fundraisers held in the Pioneer Valley. |
