Partnership / Gate Groups

Each year, Paint Creek Center for the Arts organizes the Art & Apples Festival, a 50+ year tradition for the Rochester area and its surrounding communities. The festival boasts, on average, over 60,000 attendees per year throughout the entirety of the three-day festival with over 200 artists in attendance from all over the country.

Become a part of this tradition by participating in our Gate Group Partnership program and help PCCA welcome thousands of festival guests to Rochester Municipal Park!

As a part of the Gate Group Partnership, your organization will be tasked with welcoming festival patrons and soliciting donations. In return for your volunteers’ time and effort, a portion of the festival gate revenue will be donated to any recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization or charitable organization, starting as high as 2.5% of all collected funds from all 5 separate gates.
