Fundraising -
Businesses, corporations, artists, and individuals who acknowledge the value of arts in our community genourously donate quality items for supporters of the arts to buy at our annual auction. TAG has contributed more than $1,000,000 to the arts in Denton, Texas. Each active and auxiliary TAG member is encouraged to participate in solicitation and/or production activities and to support the event by their paid attendance on auction night.
Volunteer Service --
Dedicated TAG members give many volunteer service hours to the Greater Denton Arts Council and it's member organizations. Requests for volunteer assistance are coordinated through the TAG Volunteer Chairman, who contacts members individually. Active members are asked to contribute 20 hours of volunteer service during the year; Auxilary members are asked to participate with at least 10 hours of service.
TAG benefits our community by raising money for grants to GDAC member community arts organizations, building and contingency funds for the GDAC facilities, exhibits, and programming.
