Music

In Pictures Now in its 12th year, Rosemary Beach Foundation’s Music in Pictures year-long arts initiative is offered to 4,000 students in 20 schools. In collaboration with Florida State University faculty, the program includes art instruction, musical performances, juried exhibition and professional development for teachers.

During the Fall 2022, students discovered the power of music through interactive classroom presentations and performances by classical musicians.

“Music in Pictures provides access and exposure to art and expressive art forms that many of our Walton County students may never experience.” Magnet Innovation Center art educator Melissa Buckner said.“Music in Pictures has become THE most exciting project in our arts curriculum! Our students are drawn to this program because of the music, the challenge of competition, and the creative outlet for artistic expression.”

Located in South Walton, Florida, PWMC offers high quality primary health care regardless of the patient’s means. “Our goal is to keep children in school, people at work, and ease the burden of local ERs.” PWMC Executive Director and Co-Founder Hillary Gillary, DNP said. “We see 225 – 250 individuals per month.”

In August, Rosemary Beach Foundation donated $10,000 to PWMC’s campaign to build a permanent facility. This new space will increase access to programming and expand the range of services offered including dentistry, nutrition education and more.
