The contribution strengthens the theatre company’s mission to offer professional productions, youth education, and community outreach.
According to the theatre company, the Cultural Arts Alliance plays a key role in advancing artistic growth in Walton County. In addition to financial support, the organization features rotating exhibitions of local artists in the theatre lobby, giving patrons a chance to experience local visual art alongside live performances.
