INVEST IN A FESTIVAL THAT TRANSFORMS A COMMUNITY
A one-time gift to Emberlight directly supports the performances, films, exhibitions, and community events that define every summer. Your contribution helps bring world-class artists to our rural home, expands free access for youth and families, and strengthens the programs that make this festival a cultural anchor in our region.
Your donation can also be made in honor or memory of someone special — a powerful way to celebrate the people who have shaped your life with creativity, encouragement, or the simple love of the arts.
Every gift, large or small, becomes part of the legacy we are building together.
Join us in keeping the arts vibrant, accessible, and alive all year long.
