Take a moment.  Use your imagination.  Picture how the arts can grow and infuse even more into our dynamic community. As FAB begins to celebrate its 20th anniversary, each of us has the opportunity to ignite a new era of arts support and philanthropy in Broward County by becoming part of FAB’s exciting new “be the SPARK” campaign.

Join me in this initiative that will expand our grant funding capacity for program and education grants today.  In addition, it will enable FAB to expand our grant categories, and will help ensure that FAB continues to support, sustain, and enrich the arts for another 20 years.

Be the SPARK that lights the way for the Broward Arts Community.
