A great way to help the Gulf Breeze Community is by becoming a sponsor or patron of the upcoming Gulf Breeze Arts Festival. This annual event will be help March 10th and 11th and is attended by thousands of people. Apart from the director, the festival is put on by unpaid volunteers who devote many hours to this event. The proceeds go to supporting the arts in the community and to scholarships to art students. Sponsors and patrons receive recognition at the festival and on the website and it is our sponsors who allow us to present awards to the artists. Your participation in this wonderful event will be greatly appreciated.  Please sign up today. The Sponsor/Patron form can be found by clicking the following link. Sponsor/Patron form.
