The Fishers Arts Council has announced openings on its board of directors. Applications are available for people who want to promote visual and performing arts in the city of Fishers.
According to a news release from FAC, the nonprofit’s mission is to support, advocate and cultivate visual and performing arts opportunities that educate, enhance and/or enrich the lives of those who live, work and visit Fishers.
Board members should be willing to give two to three hours each month, be creative and be willing to get their hands dirty.
“If you are one of these individuals, we need you to help us continue to promote the visual and performing arts in Fishers,” the news release stated. “Don’t leave the decision to others. Board members play active roles in all that we do — this is a working board (that) helps support our part-time executive director. Your time, talent and treasure truly make a difference in all that we do.”

Pat Grabill, board member and watercolorist, shared her thoughts about serving on the board.
“The arts — all of them — bring joy and pleasure to our lives,” she stated. “Serving on the Fishers Arts Council has allowed me to meet and greet wonderful people, appreciate beautiful art, listen to wonderful musicians and become involved in bringing even more art to the Fishers community. We hope those of you who love the arts will join us on the board.”
Executive Director Les Reinhardt originally joined FAC in early 2018 as the board treasurer.
“I’ve seen the wonderful things we can do, simply based on the incredible people we have on our team,” she stated. “The ideas that come forward and spring to life, the connections we make with artists of all disciplines, the strong partnerships and relationships in our city and county — it is truly rewarding in so many ways. I feel honored to have been accepted onto the board over six years ago and I love giving my time, talent and treasure to this mighty group of arts-loving-community members today.”
