Greetings to Our Hub on Canal Supporters
|
|
As I sit down to write these comments, the reality of another summer in Florida is setting in—stepping outside is like the blast you get when you open the oven. It’s been in the nineties for a few days and the television meteorologists are saying things like “hottest day of the season so far.” To make matters worse, it’s been about 10 days since we’ve had any rain and it looks like we might have to wait several more to get that brief, but generally welcome, temperature drop that accompanies our typical summer thunderstorms.
High temperatures notwithstanding, the best thing about summer at The Hub is our Summer Camp for kids. Our class modules kick off on June 3
rd and each week is different. We’ve got great teachers and many classes you won’t find anywhere else. Classes are available for elementary (must have exited kindergarten) through high school, and financial scholarships are available. The reception to our offerings has been great and our classes are filling up. Call or stop by The Hub in advance of your desired class beginning. There are more details below.
Last month I encouraged you to attend our Project Magnolia Community Day on May 18 and the Razzle Dazzle Fashion Event on May 19. The Community Day was the chance for any member of the community to come out, grab a brush and some paint and join artist Steve Hardock in painting the incredible mural on the Magnolia Street side of our building. Well over 100 of you took part—kids and adults alike. It was great fun! The link below will let you review what you did or see what you missed.
In case you somehow missed our pre-event promotion of Razzle Dazzle (though I’m not sure that’s possible), this was the culmination of our school-year-long After School Fashion Club. In this partnership between The Hub and the city of NSB, middle and high school kids in the program spent the year learning about the fashion industry. This was 100% hands-on, from design to production to promotion and accessorization. These young people worked hard and the results showed in the NYC-style fashion show at The Brannon Center. A full house and rousing support validated the young designers’ work and provided the financial foundation to support even more participants next year. A big thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and everyone who attended. There are links below to the fashion show video and a photo album.

Art•Creating•Community defines The Hub on Canal’s mission. It’s in the fabric of all that we do—whether it’s supporting artists, teaching others about art, music or wellness or simply lowering the barriers to participation and enjoyment.
Through our Outreach we go a step further by offering
targeted programs that make the arts
accessible to all. Whether through financial scholarships, or just providing broad availability where it may not exist, The Hub on Canal seeks to
empower creativity in everyone we touch.
New Smyrna Beach is fortunate to boast a rich arts culture, nurtured over many years, by a variety of arts organizations. That provides a jumping off point for us as we work to fulfill our mission. The Hub on Canal offers
specialized programs that are not available elsewhere in our community, often
for individuals who are not typically served. This diversity makes us stronger. Our outreach has been recognized throughout the state by grant reviewers, journalists, visitors and more. Our members and other financial supporters make all this possible. We salute and thank you!
Thank you for your support for The Hub on Canal Community Outreach!
You make a difference in our community!
