MISSION STATEMENT

---

Gulf Breeze Arts, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit charity created by local artists in Gulf Breeze, FL in 1986. The goal of the club is sharing the gift of art with our community as well as art education. GBAI began running it's annual Gulf Breeze Celebrates the Arts Festival in 1994 with continuous support from the City of Gulf Breeze.  Every year GBAI donates the proceeds from this volunteer-run festival to K-12 school programs throughout Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties including a Pensacola State College endowed scholarship fund.. Our donations go directly to programs for art, band, drama and JROTC which are incredibly important to the development and growth of our youth. These funds help provide supplies, equipment and many educational opportunities not otherwise available.
