Dwightfest, LLC is a 501C3 charity started to help people in our community who are artists, musicians, and service industry workers who make the area what it is, but often have no insurance. We raise money for this work through donations, music and art events and sponsorships, and memberships.
Proceeds benefit local artists, musicians, and service industry workers needing unexpected healthcare assistance, in honor of local pottery artist Dwight Ward. Join us in giving back to those who make our paradise possible!
