Annually during the week of Spring Break, FAA offers the ARTS IN THE PARK experience to children ages 8-12. ARTS IN THE PARK was held for the third year at Monroe High School. Sandy Gillespie served as director and on-site coordinator of the program. The Fairbanks Very Special Arts Festival held in the first week of May was a highlight of the school year. Fairbanks VSA 1998 was coordinated by Michael Libby.
Local assistance is provided by numerous Fairbanks businesses and agencies.
