The Galva Arts Council
May 27 - August 5, 2018
The Levitt AMP Galva Music Series transformed Wiley Park’s large underused lawn into a dynamic community hub where friends, families and neighbors could come together and enjoy a wide range of music genres, making Wiley Park a point of local pride that invigorated the local community and its surrounding areas.
Presented by the Galva Arts Council, a nonprofit network of volunteers dedicated to bringing local residents in and around Galva together to promote and participate in the arts, in partnership with John Taylor of Cà d'Zan House Concerts.
