North Beach Art and Charity 501C3 was founded by supporters of the arts in our South Florida community. The organization hosts events and uses its platform to gain exposure for creatives from artists, performers, fashion designers and more. The organization raises awareness for the creatives to the community for cultural enlightenment and mutual support. Bringing the community together with the artists to educate and enhance our community is the goal. “We are really looking forward to kicking off this season’s Art & Charity Series with your support for the arts and enjoyment for the Golden Age of Music.” Said gallery owner Brooke Trace.
