This Thanksgiving, the Enquirer will pay tribute to great arts volunteers.

Thousands of people contribute hundreds of thousands of hours to make our arts scene possible, whether it's a mom making sure there are art projects in school, the usher you see more often than some of your relatives, the passionate believer who has an idea for a project and sees it through, the retiree doing the accounting or getting a mailing out for a small arts organization.

Arts organizations large and small from throughout the Tristate are invited to submit the names and stories of unheralded arts volunteers. We wouldn't have art without them, so let's say thanks.

Deadline for submission is Oct. 31. Questions? Call Jackie Demaline at 768-8530 or e-mail jdemaline@enquirer.com.
