Dear Friend of LeMoyne,
In 1963 LeMoyne Arts was founded by 5 fervent supporters of the arts: Mary Metzke, Clifton Lewis, June Strauss, and Nanette Fisher along with the first President, Al Block. Thanks to the advocacy and dedication of our founders, and the commitment and support of our community, we are here today continuing to grow and encourage lifelong learning, appreciation, and participation in the arts for all ages.
We will gather to celebrate that community at the Art & Soul Celebration: Something Florida on Thursday, October 17 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm in the LeMoyne gardens. Join us as we celebrate with live music, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and open bars featuring festive specialty cocktails. Of course, it would not be an Art & Soul Celebration without the highly anticipated live and online auctions, which will include unique experiences, fashionable jewelry, and beautiful artwork. This year we will also be celebrating the beautiful State we call home, with Florida themed gift baskets, food, specialty cocktails and décor. The dress code is Florida Inspired Cocktail Chic, dress to represent your Florida!
As part of the celebration of our impressive arts community, each year we award a distinguished arts leader with the Richard L. Puckett Leadership in Arts award. This year we are excited to present this award to Amanda Thompson, Founder and CEO of AKT Artful, for the outstanding work she has done in Tallahassee to support artists, advocate for arts and culture, and showing us all how what it means to ‘walk the walk’.
The Online Auction will be on view at LeMoyne Arts in tandem with the Women Among Us: Portraits of Strength exhibit, from September 26 – October 17. LeMoyne Arts invite visitors to bid on this exciting auction, which provides vital funding for LeMoyne’s year-round programming and educational offerings.
On behalf of our team, I ask for your support as a sponsor of Art & Soul. Your sponsorship directly supports continued year-long programming at LeMoyne Arts – helping us continue the legacy that has been built over 60 years for our community, and new generations, to enjoy.
See you in October!
