ST. JOSEPH, MO—The Allied Arts Council proudly announces Rich and Barb Crumley as the chairs of the 2015 Arts Fund campaign. The Crumleys are very involved with many aspects in our community. “I like to keep busy and therefore it always involves Rich,” said Barb Crumley. Both Rich and Barb served as the Trails West!® chairs from 2005-2006, with Rich going on to serve as the Allied Arts Council board president from 2008-2010.

The entire Crumley family truly believes in the arts. “Our son David was involved at Central High School in drama and art. Our daughter Angela loved art, music and creating items for gifts. Our family has been involved for years with the New Generation Singers. Rich was active in the Pony Expressmen Barbershop Chorus for many years. Our son David and his friends also joined, and his son Ben joined when it transitioned to Voices of America. It became a family event,” said Barb.

The arts in our community are very important to the Crumleys. “We appreciate what St. Joseph offers in the way of arts and we want it to continue. We love working with people and want it to continue being strong,” said Barb.

“Everyone we contacted said yes to being a part of this campaign. We have a full slate of awesome members on our cabinet. We plan to have fun along this journey, and reach our goal of $202,500,” said Barb.
