L-R: Sue Ellen Beryl, managing director of Palm Beach Dramaworks; Florida Senator Lori Berman (District 26); Jennifer Sullivan, senior vice president of the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County (Press Release) Feb. 26, 2025 (Lake Worth Beach, Fla.) -- When 640 Florida cultural organizations experienced drastic cuts to critical funds last year, leaders at the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s historic 2024 veto of $32 million in arts and cultural grants shocked organizations that rely on this annual funding from the state’s Division of Arts & Culture (DAC). These vetted, dollar-for-dollar matching grants—which organizations often leverage to garner support from private donors—cover vital expenses including salaries, rent and utilities, and community and educational programs. In Palm Beach County, the veto had a $3.1 million impact on 50 organizations, including large institutions like the Norton Museum of Art, Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and Cox Science Center, as well as smaller groups such as Ballet Palm Beach, The Symphonia in Boca Raton, and the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival.
