Sponsors Needed For WCS Fine Arts Festival

Published September 8, 2016

The fourth Annual WCS Fine Arts Festival is coming back on March 4, 2017, at The Factory at Franklin, and we need your help.

The Fine Arts Festival is a 100 percent community-funded effort, and in order to ensure the execution of a successful event, WCS is seeking corporate sponsors at a variety of commitment levels.

“This yearly event serves as a spotlight on the tremendous amount of work being done in our fine arts programs in Williamson County Schools as well as publicly acknowledges the value of arts education to the foundation of a nationally recognized school district,” said WCS Fine Arts Specialist Melissa Dufrechou.

The WCS Fine Arts Festival features the talented work of over 1,000 K-12 students through theater, band, chorus and orchestra performances and visual art displays, attracting an audience of over 5,000 people to The Factory each spring.

For more information about sponsorships or volunteer opportunities, contact Melissa Dufrechou at Melissa.dufrechou@wcs.edu or 615-472-4000.
