ArtFest Fort Myers is happy to announce that their Associate Director, Katie Afflerback, is one of the scholarship recipients for the International Festival and Events Association Foundation Legacy Scholarship. This scholarship is offered to young professionals seeking to further their educational and career goals within the festival and events industry, as it will grant Katie admission to the Annual IFEA Convention this September in Pittsburgh, PA where she will meet and network with the industry’s most sophisticated and experienced professionals.
Currently working towards planning her third festival with ArtFest Fort Myers, Katie is eager to take her formal education and past years experience combined to continually us to enhance the maturity level of our festival. As we continue to grow and strengthen our festival in every aspect, the greater ArtFest’s influence is on the quality of life and economic impact in our community.
