     Because of the success of the 2011 festival and because of  the support of our sponsors, GBAI was able to contribute $6,500 to local school art programs. Two thousand dollars was given to the Pensacola State College art scholarship program for students entering the newly formed baccalaureate degree program. Gulf Breeze Arts is the first organization to contribute to this program.  We were also able to donate $1,500 to the art programs at Gulf Breeze High School, and $1000 each to Gulf Breeze Middle School, Gulf Breeze Elementary School, and Oriole Beach Elementary School. In these times of economic difficulty these donations make a tremendous difference to these programs and allow the art teachers to do many projects for which they would otherwise not have the funds.
