Dear Chamber South,

 

We have an extraordinary Art Festival in store for everyone this coming weekend. We are proud to be listed in the top 200 shows in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine, and learned that we broke into the top 100 ranking this year! This would not be possible without the support of our tireless volunteers and dedicated sponsors. At this time of thanksgiving, we offer a special thank you to First National Bank of South Miami for their generous support of our 41st Annual South Miami Art Festival.

 

We hope to see you all there this coming weekend as we welcome the cooler fall weather and support the arts, together!

Let the holidays begin!


Mary Scott Russell
