Cultural Council of Indian River County
2012 Annual Appeal

(Download the Annual Appeal)

Dear Friends of the Arts,

Our 2012 Annual Appeal provides a way for you to assist the Cultural Council in its mission of promoting the arts in Indian River County. The hope of a sustainable society rests on our creativity, our capacity for imagination and empathy – it cannot flourish without nourishment.

The Cultural Council needs your help in developing ways to encourage, support and facilitate artistic cultural opportunities within the community. But with resources within the community stretched, we’re counting on you to make the arts one of your priorities for 2012. Your taxdeductible contribution creates a better future for everyone.

Donations can be made on-line at the Cultural Council’s E-store or by mail to 2041 14th Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32960.

Please join with me in giving the Cultural Council your much needed support.

Arts & Cultural Information Center

Attention Members!
The Cultural Council is actively marketing its office as an “Arts & Cultural Information Center”, complete with a guest register. Since 14th Avenue is getting significantly more foot traffic and the 1st Friday Gallery Strolls are very popular, it presents a great opportunity for us to market our member’s organizations and events. Sharing the office space with Flametree Galleries just adds to the increase in traffic in our office.

Please send or bring to us your marketing, membership, informational pieces, business cards, etc. so that we may display them in the information center.

Thank you!

Florida's "State of the Arts" License Plate

Show your support for the arts by purchasing a "State of the Arts" license plate. For those who love the performing arts, the literary arts, the visual arts, cultural events and activities this is a great way to help fund those cultural organizations.

The first-time cost of the specialty plate is $32 more than the usual renewal fee and all funds stay in the county where the tag is purchased. Of the tag price, $20 is tax-deductible. Future arts plates are $22 more than the usual renewal fee.

To purchase the arts plate at any time other than renewal time, simply visit your local tag office.
