Friends of SPAC

The Friends of SPAC committee is a dynamic group of local community members, professionals, and performing arts patrons who work in tandem with the SPAC strategic planning and fundraising teams. 

Their primary focus is to cultivate a younger demographic to support SPAC and promote the arts in our community. They host a volunteer mixer the first Friday of every month to engage members and build a community of arts-loving volunteers. 

The Friends of SPAC committee is actively recruiting community members to join our volunteer group. 

Volunteer opportunities:  

  • First Friday networking events
  • SPAC programming
  • Live Nation concerts
  • Community events, and more!
