2026 IMAGES A Festival of the Arts Program


ACA is pleased to announce that we have contracted Janet Gamache and Brian Young as festival coordinators working with our IMAGES artists.

Janet and Brian began collaborating in 2009 when they were both business owners and members of the local tourism organization, Visit Mount Dora, in Mount Dora, FL.

Since that time, they have been contracted by festivals to organize and facilitate art and community festivals. They have coordinated such festivals such as

The Mount Dora Art Festival, Lake Nona Arts Festival, and other events in Florida and nationally.

Gamache and Young will specifically coordinate artist application process, artist communication, art booth placement, artist logistics and be available from load into to load out at the festival.

ACA and our IMAGES team will collaborate with Gamache and Young for our jury and judging.

We are pleased that Gamache and Young will be joining us as they have distinguished themselves in festival production.  We are grateful that they are bring their expertise to ACA.
