“I truly believe that the St. Lucie Cultural Alliance is of vital importance–now more than ever.Our greater countywide art community is a decentralized one that covers a vast geographic area. This Alliance serves as a much-needed hub, a unifying force to bring our individual artists, art organizations & related communities together. There is strength in numbers. With great enthusiasm, they promote arts education, professional development, networking opportunities & events with the recognition that the arts & culture enhances a community on so many levels. They bring their vast experience & expertise to bear as an unwavering advocate for all things art. They provide an online venue to sell member art, allowing the artist greater exposure than would be otherwise possible. A small investment in the St. Lucie Cultural Alliance will garner you so much more in return. It is an invaluable gift you give not only to yourself but to your entire community.”

“The St. Lucie Cultural Alliance is working with and for artists! If you’re an artist in the area I highly recommend that you contact Alyona or Dieulanie about opportunities that exist for showing your work or connecting with other artists. Or if you’re a local business, it means so much to the art community to have your support. The alliance can give you direction on how you can participate in events, etc. All good things to say about my experience working with the directors. :)”
