[TABLE] [TR] [TD]As we approach the close of our fiscal year on June 30, we’re filled with deep gratitude for the generous support of members and supporters like you. Your belief in the power of the Arts has made a lasting difference — sparking inspiration, building connection, and enriching lives across Walton County and beyond. Thanks to your continued contributions, here are some of the milestones the CAA has achieved this year: [IMG]https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f3a8/32.png[/IMG] [I]We brought the community together[/I] through six major cultural events that raised funds for the Arts and generated [B]millions of dollars in economic impact[/B]. [IMG]https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f4da/32.png[/IMG] [B][I]We invested over $35,000[/I][/B] in local arts education, directly benefiting more than 900 K-12 students and continuing our tradition of [B]awarding over $873,000 through the Art for All grant program[/B]. [IMG]https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f30a/32.png[/IMG] [I][B]We worked with partners to commission nine new sculptures[/B],[/I] including two permanent public works marking the Highway 98 Pedestrian Underpass and seven new sculptures for the nation’s first Underwater Museum of Art — advancing both culture and marine conservation. [IMG]https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f3a8/32.png[/IMG] [I]We transformed public spaces[/I] with [B]four new murals in DeFuniak Springs and South Walton[/B], expanding access to art and amplifying Walton County’s creative identity. [IMG]https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f91d/32.png[/IMG] [I]We built powerful new cross-sector collaborations [/I]with organizations like [B]Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation, Caring & Sharing of South Walton, and Children’s Volunteer Health Network[/B] — using the Arts as a force for healing, awareness, and change. We invite you to watch this short segment of our vision in action filmed as part of our feature on [B][I]Empowered hosted by Meg Ryan[/I][/B], highlighting how the Arts are a catalyst for meaningful change, transforming lives and communities.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [MEDIA=youtube]Ter6a8qa2Fc[/MEDIA] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][B]You make this work possible[/B]. And now, your support is more critical than ever. With Arts funding being threatened at the federal, state and local levels, grassroots nonprofit organizations like the Cultural Arts Alliance must step up to fill the void. Public investment in the Arts is disappearing — but our community's need for inspiration, connection, and creative opportunity has never been greater. Your gift helps ensure that the Arts not only survive, but thrive.
