HELP US STRENGTHEN OUR ARTS AND CULTURAL COMMUNITY
Every day the Cultural Council works to champion, engage and grow the arts in Palm Beach County.
It takes leadership and dedication from donors like Donald M. Ephraim, who helped the Council create a new professional development program designed to grow the creative sector.
It takes a community to support artists like South Florida Cultural Consortium winner Rick Newton, whose artwork is featured on the cover of the Council’s 2018 Annual Report.
It takes you. Support the Annual Fund today and join us as we strengthen our arts and cultural community together.
