We want to be transparent about our current situation: we will be prioritizing nonprofits and performers that are able to volunteer their services.
There have been major cuts to funding sources for Arts & Culture programs across the nation — which has impacted our budget for this event. We strongly believe that artists should be fairly compensated for their time and talent, and are happy to consider donations of entertainment services as sponsors, or come up with additional benefits like booth space, for those who are able to help with this loss of funding.
