Who We Are

The St. Anne's-Belfield School Arts Boosters is a dedicated, family-led fundraising and volunteer support organization that enhances arts programming across all school divisions. In addition to their philanthropic support, members may also volunteer to support the visual and performing arts at the School. In addition, Arts Boosters supports Mary Hyde DuVal’s call to be “tender of heart.”

What We Do

  1. Community Engagement: We foster a sense of community and school pride by promoting participation and supporting arts activities within and beyond our campuses. Our mission includes raising awareness of the invaluable benefits of arts education and enriching students' academic, social, and emotional development.
  2. Financial Support: We organize membership drives and events, such as the Annual Plant Sale, to raise funds for the arts programs. These funds support art equipment, technology upgrades, school performances, guest artists and performers, deepening the artistic experience for students and the St. Anne’s-Belfield community.
  3. Enrichment Opportunities: We enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Departments' ability to collaborate with local artists and arts organizations, fostering enriching student experiences such as guest performances at events like the Winter Concert and A Cappella Fest.
  4. Volunteer Support: We partner with the Visual and Performing Arts Departments to coordinate volunteer opportunities, assist in event organization, and provide hands-on support when suitable.
