WOMEN SUPPORTING THE ARTS
Making a Difference.
Investing in the Arts.
Since 2004, Women Supporting the
Arts has made a difference in the arts and our
community. The variety of the programs, the art
forms, and the styles have resulted in an impact
that is immeasurable. It would be a much less
vibrant arts experience if Women Supporting the
Arts had not invested over $305,000 to bring the
arts to life for so many.
What is Women Supporting the Arts?
It’s a group of women philanthropists who each
make a minimum $1,000 annual investment into
the pool, which is then upon consensus granted
to recipients for projects and programs that are
arts related all over Martin County. Some goes to
nonprofits to expand or present a special project,
while other funds are used to give scholarships
to talented students. Members of Women
Supporting the Arts love to see public art spring
up throughout the community, and have for a
number of years, saved to be able to make public
art come to life, examples include the City of
Stuart’s Waterbirds (the Sandhill Crane is from
Women Supporting the Arts) and the inspired
river mural by Lynne Barletta with assistance
from her students and teachers at Visionary
School of Art and Catch the Wave of Hope.
Interested in becoming a part of this
dynamic, vibrant force that invests in projects
and programs that have meaningful and artistic
outcome for the improvement of our community?

Atlantic Classical Orchestra professional musicians joined
the Treasure Coast Youth Orchestra students in a rehearsal
for a time of personal mentoring. The ACO musicians
represented the various sections of the orchestra. They
worked directly with the students, showing them fingerings,
different approaches as to how to handle tough passages
and playing along with them as an example.
