Our Committee
The Amherst Arts Night Plus Committee is comprised of representatives from various Arts Night Plus venues. Our main objective at meetings is to think of new, different, and exciting ways to engage the art community in the Amherst area. We plan performances and other events during Arts Night Plus and outside of Arts Night Plus.
Meetings are held once a month and are open to the public. Want to be a part of the committee? Email for more information.
