Next month, the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF) kicks off the 2022 Fall season with Fall Flix, a brand new series of family-friendly movies on the Village Green beginning with The Wizard of Oz. Additional Fall events include the highly-anticipated Destin Festival of the Arts held the weekend of October 29 and 30 at the MKAF Cultural Arts Village and the 10th Annual Ruth's Chris Wine Walkabout.
The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF) is a non-profit arts organization comprised of members, volunteers, and community partners building the foundation of arts and culture in the community. Since its inception in 1995, MKAF has inspired more than 337,800 children in over 75 schools and partner agencies. Through its community education initiatives ArtsReach, programming serves K-12 students, at-risk youth, people with disabilities, and the military population with visible and invisible injuries. As a presenting organization, MKAF has showcased its Concerts in the Village each season where the Southeast United States’ most vibrant performing artists and bands perform to more than 15,000 patrons annually. More than 100 artists convene each year for the Destin Festival of the Arts, which is one of the preeminent arts festivals along the Gulf Coast.
"After an incredible Spring/Summer Concerts in the Village, we are pleased to present these upcoming Fall events which support our mission to provide arts awareness and education for our community," says Demetrius Fuller, CEO, Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation.
