O&A at Folkfest!

o&a is proud to be an official sponsor of folkfest st. pete 2010, and the exclusive gay event sponsor for festival performances by lorna bracewell, indigo girls, and dar williams!

folkfest st. pete is an annual street folk art and music festival held in downtown st. pete outside of Creative Clay Cultural Arts Center, which hosts the event every year.  Creative Clay has served those with developmental disabilities in the tampa bay area for over 15 years.  it created folkfest to celebrate art and draw as many people as possible to its door, to see firsthand the creativity, passion, and artistic expression that takes place there. proceeds from the festival help Creative Clay make the arts more accessible to populations that are underserved.

in 2009, more than 20,000 participants enjoyed folkfest.  this year, the festival has expanded to three days, oct. 1-3.  it will feature over 60 folk artists from across the united states, and over a dozen musical performances, including lorna bracewell, indigo girls, and dar williams.

o&a has witnessed firsthand the amazing, inspiring programs Creative Clay offers, and the joy it brings to those it serves.  check out these short videos!

let’s do all we can to help keep Creative Clay’s programs going! o&a volunteers are playing a vital role in this festival, donating over 300 hours of festival service!  festival set up and break down, booth sitters, assistance with art and merchandise sales, art gallery greeters, runners for the musical performers, and festival clean up. what a phenomenal outpouring of support!  a huge heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s helping.

during shifts, our volunteers will have their own exclusive o&a vip section to listen to all the great musical performances. we are also being fed very well by our generous catering sponsor, island seafood market. and last but not least, we’re one of the very few being given the privilege to reward our top two volunteers with an indigo girls meet & greet!
