Funds were initially raised through sales of Walla Walla Remembers, a book of sketches of historic Walla Walla homes by local artist Claire Mitchell. Money raised from the book sales, and donations from directors and friends, was used for art classes, ballet, and theater arts. Summerfest supported and put on many art shows and art classes before its dissolution in 1975.
