About Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County
The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is a Local Arts Agency that supports the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education.

The vision of the CAA is to be the catalyst for Walton County’s growth as a destination for cultural and artistic excellence through which lives are enriched, economy is stimulated and community is strengthened.

In May 1989, a group of artists and volunteers led by Susan Foster, Jan Clarke & Jeff Ellis organized the first Grayton Beach Fine Arts Festival (now ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival). Two years later, Foster and Hilda McDonald coordinated a children’s art festival, eventually called the Flutterby Festival. Both events were designed to showcase local artists and raise money for after-school children’s art classes. Because of the success of these events, it became necessary to form an organization through which grants and scholarships could be awarded, and the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) was founded in 1993 as a 501 (c)3. In over two decades, the CAA has grown exponentially, fine-tuning these traditions while adding programs, events and services and growing into a leader in the community with a mission to support the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education.

In 2008, the CAA received designation by the County and State as the official Local Arts Agency (LAA) of Walton County and was designated as the administrator of all revenues from the sale of the Florida Arts license plates in Walton County. The CAA headquarters is the Bayou Arts Center where over 200 art classes are offered every year to adults and children. The CAA produces the 30A Songwriters Festival, Valentine Tour of Homes, ArtsQuest, Under the Sea fundraiser for the Underwater Museum of Art, and the Flutterby Festival. Tens of thousands of dollars are awarded annually to teachers, students, artists and arts organizations through the CAA’s Art For All Program, which is funded through grants and net proceeds from events.

About Alys Beach Foundation

The Alys Foundation was established to provide funding for the purpose of sustaining the long-term community values of Alys Beach. The funds from The Alys Foundation are used to enhance the experiences of our families and to preserve and enhance the quality of life of our community members.

Our primary focus is serving the town of Alys Beach through art and cultural development, but we will also focus our initiatives in the Walton County community at large. From sponsoring films, lectures and poetry readings, or musical performances, to funding to a nature-learning center or contribution to an underwater sculpture garden, the Foundation is committed to enhancing life through the arts.

The Alys Foundation also sponsors three major events at Alys Beach that draw visitors from the local area and around the country. Digital Graffiti features world renowned artists projecting digital artwork upon the white canvases of our homes at Alys Beach. The 30A Wine Festival features three days of fine food and drink and has been recognized by USAToday as a top wine festival in the country. And our 5k race each year draws hundreds of runners young and old to raise money for local charities in the South Walton area.

At every turn and as we continue to grow, we keep our intentions set on bringing art into our environment. We believe in the play between the natural world and human design, and art within our town is as diverse and beautiful as the life lived amongst these homes. From local artists to names known the world over, The Foundation is committed to establishing a culture of art at Alys Beach.

We believe that in the process of finding beauty, we learn more about ourselves and about others. Our mission to serve local charities and the South Walton community was established at the outset, and through events and private, homeowner contributions, we are able to assist charities in the area each year.

About Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation

Established in 1995, the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable arts organization, was founded on the cultural, educational and spiritual beliefs of Destin matriarch Mattie Kelly. A native Floridian, Mattie studied at Rollins College before earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Florida State University. Her commitment to learning led her to additional studies at Columbia University’s AB College of Arts and Science, Harvard Summer School, and Okaloosa-Walton Junior College (now Northwest Florida State College).

In 1935, she and her husband, Coleman Lee Kelly, moved to Destin with their five children. As one of the town’s founding families, they purchased acres of pristine forest along Choctawhatchee Bay and what is now Destin Harbor. Though they began as turpentine farmers, Mattie and Coleman soon established themselves as prominent local business owners and philanthropists, and are widely credited with pioneering Destin’s tourism and fishing industries.

Mattie Kelly was a lifelong patron of the arts, supporting arts organizations through her participation and financial gifts. She shared her own artistic expression by writing a book of poems, playing piano and organ, and composing music regularly. Today, MKAF remains firmly committed to Mattie Kelly’s vision of making the cultural arts available to all in Northwest Florida.

About EntreCon

Studer Community Institute’s mission is to improve the quality of life in our community. By helping businesses improve their organizations and the skillsets of their workforce, we are also helping business grow jobs and retain top talent.

EntreCon® started as a two-day conference for entrepreneurs in 2015. SCI founder Quint Studer had the vision to bring a high-end conference for business owners at an affordable price to the Gulf Coast. It didn’t seem right that a small business owner had to travel to big cities like Atlanta or New York to be inspired by fresh ideas and learn the latest tactics and strategies for success, so we brought it to Pensacola.

Over the last four years, the community has transformed EntreCon® into a conference for not just entrepreneurs, but for business owners, leaders and employees alike. EntreCon® provides attendees with a front-row seat to both local and national speakers, practical knowledge and tools, and first-class networking within our community.

Be a part of the movement: Let’s create great places to work together.
