Fallbrook Arts, Inc.

Champagne corks popped and tears mingled as Fallbrook Arts, Inc. board celebrated the vital contributions of two principal members as they leave the FAI Board. Vince Ross and Colleen Aichle have been visionary in their understanding of what a pivotal role the arts, in its various forms and interpretations, would come to play for Fallbrook.

Along with a committed band of like-minded residents, they saw clearly, a future for Fallbrook in which the arts acted as the glue that brought and held so many facets of the community together.   They worked strategically to secure property, facilities as well as essential and talented staff to serve as the core of the growing Fallbrook arts scene.

FAI President Marlene Rantanen expressed the group’s appreciation saying that without their visionary wisdom, sweat equity and financial support of Ross and Aichle, none of the recent successes would have been possible.  “With five vibrant divisions functioning to meet the needs of our burgeoning arts community, FAI has built real momentum and a wonderful regional reputation for truly innovative and substantial programming in the arts,” said Rantanen and she and the group congratulated Ross and Aichle with a toast.
