We are deeply grateful for community partners like the Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts and The Duke Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theater. Their support makes an incredible difference in the lives of young artists! This year, SPAA’s Funding Futures program sponsored several talented youth to participate in transformative arts programs. Among them, Emma Otis (pictured first) attended The Little Mermaid JR. Summer Camp in partnership with the Bill Edwards Foundation. Thanks to these amazing partners, young artists like Emma have the opportunity to shine, grow, and thrive in the arts. These programs are only possible through the generosity of donors and community members. This holiday season, please consider making a gift to Funding Futures and help us continue to inspire and support the next generation of artists. Donate today: https://lnkd.in/eDeUq7BK

There’s one gift you can’t wrap this holiday season... You may never meet the person who receives it, but this gift is extraordinary—more meaningful than anything you could buy online. Funding Futures is designed to uplift students in Pinellas County, ages 10 to 17, offering them the chance to explore and express themselves through the arts. From dance, music, theater, and photography to digital, literary, and visual arts, this program opens doors for young creatives facing financial barriers. The program is open to all young creatives, and reinforces equity, diversity, access and inclusion. It also helps support art organizations throughout our city that offer these amazing classes in the summer and after school. The reward is twofold! Your support makes this possible. Your gift empowers the next generation of artists in St. Pete, enriching their emotional, intellectual, and social well-being while helping them find hope and a voice in today’s world. We hope to inspire you to imagine: the book you are reading, the music you are listening to, or the art you are admiring all came from artists who were encouraged by someone in their lives to believe that creating art holds endless possibilities. Please consider a donation to Funding Futures and open the door for someone else to walk through.
