Saluting the Arts

Ocala is fortunate to have an organization that acts as an umbrella for all the arts in Marion County. Marion Cultural Alliance offers grant money to local non-profit arts organizations which helps greatly in their survival. Yesterday, these grants were presented at a sold-out luncheon at the Ocala Hilton.

My heart lies with two dimensional art but I embrace all of the arts. It was invigorating to be among so many creative people - painters, actors, dancers, singers, musicians, directors, and the list goes on. This upcoming season is jam packed with so many cultural events it will be hard to pick which ones to attend.

Not only do I live in a "post card" but also a haven for the arts.
