Support the Festival of the Arts

The Big Rapids Festival of the Arts (FOTA) marks its 19th year, offering a month-long extravaganza of artistic events and workshops, all at virtually no cost to the public. There is, of course, a cost to hosting a month of arts events, and we are grateful to our sponsors, donors, and advertisers, great and small, for their continued generosity over the years. In this post-COVID era, some of our sponsors have not been able to give at the levels they have in the past. This means we must find new ways to raise revenue if we are to continue operating at the same level as in the past.

Many of our performers are nationally and internationally recognized artists. Hosting quality performers and presenters like this, with no admission cost, is part of our mission to provide access to the arts for a wide and varied audience, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life in our community.

Please consider making a donation to FOTA. We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization, so your contribution is tax-deductible. Your gift will help make February a month to look forward to, and most importantly, keep these opportunities free to the public.

Contributions can be made by mail to:
