Annual event’s Arts Partner Program supports local arts community

GREENVILLE, SC – Artisphere, Greenville’s Arts Weekend, is currently accepting group volunteer applications for its Arts Partner Program. A unique element of Artisphere, its Arts Partner Program provides local nonprofit arts organizations with a portion of the proceeds from Artisphere in recognition of their assistance in recruiting the almost 800 volunteers needed to run the festival each year. Since 2006, the festival has distributed $165,000 to local arts organizations.

The Arts Partner Program places volunteers in key positions during the festival’s three-day event scheduled for May 8-10. Interested organizations must be a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit arts-related group such as dance, theater, performance and cultural arts.
