SOME PROGRAMS HELP ARTISTS AND CHARITIES TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THEIR COLLABORATION, WHILE MOST PRODUCE RESULTS DIRECTLY, BY FEEDING THE POOR, HEALING THE SICK, OR SOLVING OTHER PROBLEMS THROUGH UNIQUE ARTISTIC SOLUTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WE NEVER ASK ARTIST PROFESSIONALS IN A STRUGGLING INDUSTRY TO DONATE OR GIVE AWAY THEIR LIVELIHOOD. NO PROGRAM IS MERELY ABOUT ART FOR ARTS' SAKE - ARTISTS FOR A CAUSE IS ABOUT THE ARTS AS A SOLUTION. 0 0 49073 10647 DANCE FOR FOOD PROGRAM - THE ANNUAL DANCE FOR FOOD, PRESENTED BY ARTISTS FOR A CAUSE (A4AC) BRINGS TOGETHER MANY OF FLORIDA'S AND MISSOURI'S FINEST CONTEMPORARY DANCERS TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE WHOSE ONLY ADMISSION FEE IS A BAG OF UNEXPIRED NONPERISHABLE GOODS. WITH THIS PROGRAM A4AC IS ABLE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN SEVERAL WAYS: (1) FOOD FOR THE NEEDY - APPROXIMATELY 6,000 POUNDS OF FOOD WERE COLLECTED IN TOTAL AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE NEEDY THROUGH VARIOUS PARTNERSHIPS IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND ST. LOUIS MISSOURI. (2) PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES - 20 PROFESSIONAL DANCE COMPANIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE, 150 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND 250 STUDENTS OF INDIVIDUAL DANCE COMPANIES PERFORMED, (3) A CULTURAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO VIEW PROFESSIONAL LEVEL DANCE FOR A NEGLIGIBLE COST. MANY OF THE ATTENDEES HAD NEVER WITNESS LIVE DANCE. THE A4AC DANCE FOR FOOD EVENT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE ARTS AS A CATALYST TO ADDRESS A CRITICAL COMMUNITY NEED. THE PROGRAM PRODUCES SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESULTS THAN COULD BE OBTAINED THROUGH A MORE TRADITIONAL FUNDRAISING EVENT. THE ORGANIZATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT THE ARTS AND DANCE CULTURE WITH PROFESSIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, WHILE ALSO RAISING MORE FOOD THAN THE PROGRAM BUDGET WOULD PURCHASE. IN ADDITION, THIS EVENT INCREASES THE COMMUNITY'S AWARENESS OF ART WHILE ALLOWING ARTISTS THE OPPORTUNITIES TO USE THEIR TALENTS TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD IN A NEW WAY. IN 2017, THERE WERE FOUR DANCE EVENTS IN MARTIN, ST. LUCIE, AND PALM BEACH COUNTIES, WHICH TOOK PLACE DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER AND TWO EVENTS WHICH TOOK PLACE IN ST. LOUIS MISSOURI. 46050 2470 14950 THERAPEUTIC ARTS PROGRAM - THIS PROGRAM EXPLORES AND UTILIZES THE HEALING POWER OF THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS.
