Olney Youth Arts Festival’s third annual event will be in October 2016 and it’s using crowd-funding to pay for local performers.
Ambrose Liu, the project’s director and a self-proclaimed “big supporter of arts,” started the Olney Youth Arts Festival in 2013 to highlight the talents and vast diversity in culture and entertainment in Olney and the local organizations that encourage those talents.
Liu said that the festival does get support from city council and donations, but $8,000 to $10,000 is needed for general operations.
“We have great sponsors but it’s great to have people involved and to buy in,” said Liu.
The money raised for the festival would go towards general operations and to pay the people and local organizations that come
