*Kitty & Bill Wolf (Co-Founders): have both past away, but their commitment and enthusiasm for Arts in the Park continues through our actions to bring our community together through music and the arts.



Arts in the Park Co-founders:

Armina "Kitty" Wolf &

As co-founders of Arts in the Park in 2000, Bill and Kitty saw the need for the community of La Porte to grow strong together with the binding force of music and the arts. Through decades of growth Arts in the Park will never forget the blossoming of an idea which became a dream come true through their commitment to this goal.
