About
Us
The
Buda Fine Arts Festival Committee began in 2000 as an all-volunteer
artist group partnering with the City of Buda, to plan an annual
fine arts festival for the Buda community. A group of volunteers
was organized by the Economic Development Commission (EDC).
In 2004 we had our first festival. In August of 2008 our non-profit
status was approved. With the help of the EDC, the Buda Area
Chamber of Commerce, the City of Buda and support of local businesses
and volunteers, the festival has grown in popularity with artists
from around Texas. We look forward to continuing this tradition
and continuing to promote the arts in our community.
The Buda Fine Arts Festival
is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organized for charitable and educational
programs with an all volunteer committee.
Mission
To
promote fine arts in the community, assist local high school
students with scholarships for higher education in the arts,
to interact with the community in fine arts, and support the
development of Buda’s downtown business district.
