If you share our passion for the arts, we would love to have your assistance as a member of one of our four volunteer committees.

Grants and Awards Committee (chaired by Kimberly Westcoat)
This committee reviews faculty and staff applications for funding to support arts related programs on campus and stewards scholarship awards for high- achieving St. Mary’s College students in the arts.
