PATRON INFORMATION
Gulf Breeze Celebrates the Arts Festival
On March 22 and 23, 2025 artists from across the country will join us in celebrating art by exhibiting and selling their artwork. During this event we will also be hosting an indoor Local Artists Art Show, a Silent Auction, live demonstrations and childrens art activities.
In the past 28 years GBAI has been proud to host and grow the festival into a staple art event for the city of Gulf Breeze. Gulf Breeze Arts, Inc is a 501c3 non-profit art organization which plans and operates the Gulf Breeze Celebrates the Arts Festival. Every year GBAI donates the proceeds of the festival to local K-12 school programs for art, band, drama and JROTC in 19 schools throughout Santa Rosa as well as college scholarships from our Pensacola State College Endowment. To date, $160,000 has been donated to our area schools.
I would like to invite you to participate in this year’s festival as a Patron. The Patron program entices artists from around the country to participate in the Gulf Breeze Arts Festival. They are aware that a committed dollar amount is assigned to purchase art.
This is how the Patron program works for you:
- 20% of the funds you submit is tax deductible and will be disbursed to the schools
- 80% goes back to you in “festival money” for art shopping
- you receive two (2) invitations to the artists party
- your name/logo goes on the patron board (the deadline to get your name on the board is March 1st)
Everyone wins: You receive 80% in festival money for shopping, two (2) invitations to the artist party, your name/logo on the Patron Board (deadline March 1st), 20% tax deduction.
Gulf Breeze Arts. Inc receives your 20% to be applied to our scholarship fund.
The various artists receive money for their art.
Please download the Patron form, and know that your participation as a Patron helps to promote the arts in our community. We appreciate your time and consideration.
