Allow the ARTS to
Flourish
support the 2008 Campaign

Arts Fund Chairs Brad and Jane Graves ask for your
support
For years St. Joseph citizens of all ages have been
given the opportunity to participate in the arts by
acting with the community theater, singing in the
community chorus, creating and displaying their artwork
with other artisans in the area, and learning to play
instruments so well that they become part of the
symphony. For those less talented individuals (like
ourselves) that enjoy an evening at the theater or an
afternoon viewing the creative works of others, we are
fortunate to have the arts organizations in town that
provide us the occasion of such wonderful cultural
experiences. These opportunities are made possible
because of the Allied Arts Council and the support of
arts participants and patrons like you.
As co-chairs for the 2008 Arts Fund Drive, we feel
fortunate to be working with the Allied Arts Council
staff and a group of hardworking, dedicated volunteers
that see the impact the arts have made in this area.
Your past, present and continued support is greatly
appreciated and definitely “allows the arts to flourish”
in Northwest Missouri!
Thank you in advance for your kind and generous
donation.

Arts Fund telethon to feature local artists.
The Arts Fund campaign will feature celebrated local
entertainers at the second “live” Arts Fund Telethon on
Wednesday, April 30, from 5-7:00 p.m., at the Missouri
Theatre and produced by KQ2. The public is invited to
attend this family entertainment event which is free and
open to the public. Members of the live viewing audience
will be asked to call KQ2 to make contributions to the
Arts Fund Drive where a bank of Friends of the Arts will
take phone calls. The goal for this event is to raise
$5,000 new dollars for the Arts Fund. Payments may be
made via pledge or credit card over the phone. No
donation is too small or too large. The public is
encouraged to come to the theatre, make a donation, and
enjoy the performances of St. Joseph talented artistic
community.
Some
of the special performances will include Voices of
America, RiverSong, he St. Joseph Community Chorus, Ann
Brock and dance students from the Dance Arts studio.

at the Theatre during brief breaks. The talent ranges
from classical to Country Western to folk, and jazz.
