Morgan Lewis reported on the success of the recent Cultural Summit held in Jacksonville on September 13-14.  The Summit was sponsored by the Citizens for Florida Arts, Inc., and there were 132 guests participating in person, and 45 guests participating via webinar.  The three topics that rose to the forefront were securing a dedicated source of funding, activism and advocacy, and the need to cohesively market the benefits of cultural programming and the value of the arts.  Dr. Barbara French has submitted a report with the summaries of the group's work and feedback.
