Any non-profit hosting as large an event as the Solstice Festival should have professional legal advice.

Any non-profit hosting an event such as the Solstice Festival without "Directors Insurance" would leave their board exposed to financial and civil jeopardy.

Their annual budget was north of $100K, they had employees and leasehold obligations. None of this runs on pixie dust.

The phrase is "non-profit corporation" - even if most people pronounce the "corporation" part silently.

I donate about $500 a year to them.

Actually, it's Waiting for the Interurban, and last time I checked they're planning on building a streetcar to Ballard over the Fremont Bridge, so it's just anticipatory.

That's classic.

Allowing the artists to isolate themselves from the issues that shape the business that fosters their art lays the groundwork for the situation Mr. Daisy describes in "How Theatre Failed America".
