Newport Performing Arts Festival
LEARN . EXPERIENCE . PERFORM
For my 73rd birthday this year, I’m asking, if you are so moved, to please make a donation to the Newport Performing Arts Festival, a week long festival of a variety of music classes and performances in the exquisite beach town of Newport, Oregon.
NPAF was founded by our dear late friend Linda Knighten as a place for musicians to learn and perform in a non-competitive atmosphere in a safe and supportive like minded community.
Our Artistic Director is non other than the AMAHZING Stephanie Lynne Smith.
I'm secretary of the board. This group is dear to my heart. We succeed on registration and private donations.
Thank you for considering.
