| A Palette of Hope: Artists Against Homelessness |
A Palette of Hope: Artists Against Homelessness is a great opportunity for artists to express their concern of homelessness through their work. We encourage all artists, in all forms of media to participate. Artists can paint, draw, capture, or print their interpretation of homelessness.
The intention is to relate to real life stories of the homeless and raise awareness that people are homeless for several different reasons, not just drugs and alcohol addictions.
All donations received before or on October 21st will be entered to win prizes. Artwork donated will be auctioned off with proceeds going to Sulzbacher Center, Clara White Mission, Mission House, City Rescue Mission, and Trinity Rescue Mission. Winners will be announced the first week of November, which is National Homelessness Month.

Come and bring a friend. The Atlantic Beach Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee hosts this free event on the lawn at Bull Memorial Park on the corner of Ocean Boulevard and 7th Street. The event is held indoors in the theater at the Adele Grage Cultural Arts Center if it rains.
Our intimate event has developed quite a following and is a wonderful way for artists to meet and for everyone to enjoy playing and listening to truly awesome talent. You would be hard-pressed to find better talent, friends or artistic collaboration and we have it all! We routinely average 30 to 50 warm, positive people to listen and 12 to 20 performers.
Whether you write, sing, play or simply enjoy good music, plan on being with us. Our musical host, Mike Shackelford and his fellow talented performers from our region will once again transform the Atlantic Beach Theater into a coffee house for two hours of original musical creations by neighbors and friends.
