Welcomed Jill Sonke Henderson, director of the Center for Arts in Healthcare at the University of Florida, and Jenny Lee, director of Creative Clay to the brand new StarStruck Performing Arts Center. Jill captivated the audience with a beautiful story of healing through dance with one of her patients who suffers from sickle cell disease. Many thanks to our hosts, Peter and Jennifer Jones for letting us meet in their dance studio.
APRIL 2011 -- Classical Recording Artist, Terry Barber, wowed guests of the inaugural Inspired By... This new program was created as a "spark" for our membership progam and after executive director Nancy Turrell was inspired by a program on Sundance Channel "Spectacle with Elvis Costello." Inspired By... was initiated as an intimate, engaging event with artists.
Rave review for the 1st Inspired By...
"The Arts Council's Inspried By... series allows mere mortals to get up close and personal with very gifted performers. In the style of Inside the Actor's Studio, thought provoking questions are lobbed at the artist -- and anything goes! Who know that if Terry Barber could pick any pop icon that would most fit his style of work, it would be Freddy Mercury?" -- member, Karen Janson
"Bravo to the Arts Council! Inspried By..., the latest Arts Council event was a real coup. It is very clear that you are helping to put Martin County on the map as a first rate and cutting edge artistic community." --- member, Deborah Pitts
