EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER
On the Table...
The arts are on the
table. During the legislative
session earlier in 2018, it
happened to be the chopping
block. Looking forward, there
is a tremendous effort afoot to
make sure that doesn’t happen
in 2019. Watch for tips on how
you can be a part of speaking
up for the arts with our locally elected officials
who serve in Tallahassee.
When you think about what you love
about a place what comes to mind? Natural beauty.
Of course our nation’s scenic treasures are special.
But for me, it’s the character of a place that keeps
me engaged. Architectural treasures and vibrant
charm make towns, like Stuart, places people
come back to, time and time again. A town doesn’t
have to have institutions like the Metropolitan
Museum of Art or Lincoln Center to have a vibrant
arts community.
We are one of many partners to promote
the On the Table discussion with the Community
Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties
on October 24. I am passionate about ensuring
that the ARTS are ON THE TABLE for our
community’s economic, social and cultural future.
On the Table is a one-of-a-kind initiative
where thousands of diverse residents from all walks
of life gather together to share a meal and discuss
meaningful ideas to strengthen our community.
The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and
Martin Counties is championing this initiative
and invites anyone who lives, works, worships or
attends school in Palm Beach or Martin Counties
to join in a mealtime conversation with their family,
friends, neighbors or colleagues on Wednesday,
October 24, 2018.
To find out more about being a part
of this initiative, go to cfpbmc.org/onthetable.
Help me keep the ARTS on the table... after all
it’s something we all care about and your voice
matters.
