Bill and Luann Parmelee

The creativity of artists brings innovation and vitality to our community and our lives. We are happy to support the Cultural Council and their work on behalf of artists, making their work more broadly available to the residents of Palm Beach County.

Suzanne Niedland

Arts and culture bring happiness into the lives of so many. Not only do the arts spark creativity and engagement, they can be used as an educational tool for students to step outside of the classroom and visit a museum or zoo. From an incredible local jazz band playing, to an avant-garde performance at a theatre, the arts are a visible and vibrant part of Palm Beach County. Serving on the Cultural Council’s Board of Director’s has underlined how culturally rich our community is and how lucky we are to have so much talent in our organizations and their leaders.
