Sponsorship

The Vandergrift Improvement Program, Inc. (VIP) is presenting its 6th Annual Vandergrift Fine Arts Festival on Saturday, June 2, 2012.

The VIP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Since our founding in 2004 we have been actively pursuing our goal of revitalizing the small community of Vandergrift, known as a unique, graceful and historic town. One way in which we have been working toward the achievement of this goal is through attracting visitors with promotional events like the Vandergrift Fine Arts Festival. This event gives artists the opportunity to share their creativity as well as experience and applaud the artistic talent of others.

In 2011, over 30 artists exhibited their work in booths along Grant Avenue on the day of the festival and over 40 artists painted wooden palettes for the Paint a Palette Program. These palettes lined the streets of Vandergrift's business district from June through October creating an engaging community-wide exhibit. In addition, in 2011 we continue the Southwestern Pennsylvania Chalk Walk Competition, in which groups of three students from each school created a chalk mural on Grant Avenue. Eight high schools participated and the students created beautiful murals that captured the attention of visitors. The Chalk Walk is a portion of the festival that we would like to advance as it provides high school students with an opportunity to display their creative talents and compete against their peers. Entertainment, children's activities, wineries and food vendors all added to the event's festive atmosphere.

Vandergrift's Fine Arts Festival can only expand in 2012 and we are offering you the opportunity to become a partner in this exciting endeavor. With the help of your sponsorship of the 2012 Vandergrift Fine Arts Festival we will be able to use this event to showcase Vandergrift, local businesses, and the artists that call Southwestern PA home.
