Donna Fassett Art Scholarship
Donna Fassett was a community-minded, award-winning individual who worked tirelessly as a volunteer for GGAF beginning in 1985. Serving as Chairperson in 1991, 92, and 93, Donna volunteered countless hours during the festival, and served on the GGAF Executive Board as secretary. A recognized leader in Northwest Florida, Donna volunteered her time and energy while supporting the goals for improving the Pensacola community. Her community service and dedication left a lasting legacy of caring and support to our community. Donna lost her battle with cancer in December 2012, but her spirit and dedication will long continue to inspire others.
Community Arts Grants
Each year, the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival Committee awards grants to local nonprofit organizations in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties for community arts projects. Grant recipients are showcased in a booth on the south side of Zaragoza Street by the Music Stage. Be sure to stop by the booth to view photos of the art projects from the organizations receiving funding.
