BIG EXCITING NEWS FOR OBBS

We are proud new members of the Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC) and have been selected to receive a GRANT for 2023-2024 to produce our Blues in the Schools (BITS) initiative for two Seminole County Middle Schools who have been underserved in music and the arts. It was quite an undertaking to put together OBBS's rich history and our on-going support of the blues genre in Central Florida. Our grant writing team consisted of Judy Grim, Jann Childers, Reno Mussatto, and Cathy Bowers. Many conference calls and numerous hours were put into the grant application by our committee. Hard work pays off and we are so proud of the accomplishment. We will have a subject matter expert and musicians to educate the students about the history of the blues along with basic blues music and how it correlates to today's many music styles. The BITS initiative will provide many opportunities for the students to increase their understanding of American history as it relates to this pure American music form, interact with world class musicians, and enhance their creative expression of the arts.

SCAC's mission is the preservation of local culture and historic heritage. You can also help support the arts in Seminole County by purchasing a Florida “State of the Arts” license plate. By purchasing a Florida “State of the Arts” license plate in Seminole County, you are making a charitable donation to directly support artists on local projects that benefit and impact our community. We encourage all of you to visit their website at Seminole Cultural Arts Council and help them as they support the arts.
