Future Arts Foundation

Winter Folk Music and Photography Showcase is put on by Future Arts Foundation (FAF).  FAF is a non-profit with a mission to “host concerts with a purpose.”  Proceeds from FAF events provide Colorado schools with instruments and allow them to host free youth arts workshops to the children of Colorado teachers, first responders, and military members.

Each day of this year’s Winter Folk event will provide an instrument to a Colorado school music program.  That’s 12 instruments!
