October 2026 Newsletter
A big Thank you to Tom Sanders for teaching a Cha Cha lesson at our September Wild Wild West Dance. Tom brought fun and energy to the dance floor. It was a fun evening all around. Everyone dressed the part for the Wild Wild West Theme.
The Mall Ball was a huge success- thanks to all who participated. The instructors, the students, the volunteers that help set up and tear down the event. This event wouldn’t be possible with all of you.

Support our local arts organizations
When you choose Florida's "State of the Arts" license tag for your vehicle, all of the proceeds fund visual and performing arts programs (like ours) right here in Volusia County.
How much does it cost?
The first-time cost of a State of the Arts plate is $32 in addition to your vehicle's normal registration fee at time of renewal.
Of that, $20 is tax deductible. Future renewals are only $22 each year in addition to the normal registration fee with $20 again being tax deductible.
To re-order: At renewal, simply state you would like a "State of the Arts" plate and include a check for $32 along with your renewal notice.
or ...
Visit your local tag office, turn in your current plate and receive your new "Arts Plate" on the spot for $32. Gift certificates for State of the Arts plates are also available at your local tag office and make great gifts that also help our community.
It's a great way and a great day to be a Driving Force
for the Arts!
