The Board of Directors and Our Mission

Our Mission

The mission of the Lake Mary - Heathrow Festival of the Arts is to produce an outstanding juried show featuring National and International Artists and Contemporary Craftsmen while raising scholarship money for graduating Seminole County High School Students. In doing so, we hope to stimulate and energize the local economy, foster pride and involvement in Seminole County, entertain our guests and have fun, and celebrate the arts.

 

  
Our Board of Directors

From a humble beginning in 1987 through today, the Board of Directors has worked hard to ensure the success of Central Florida's "Festival for Art Scholarships" and to promote our mission. This is the Lake Mary - Heathrow Festival of the Arts 2008 Board of Directors.
