The Atlantic Center for the Arts' Horsin' Around fundraiser Sunday generated upwards of $100,000 in revenue for the NSB-based arts mecca, which drew 500 art lovers from throughout Central Florida.  In the video, ACA Director Ann Brady and Winter Park resident Doug Ware, who purchased a $1,900 painting speak with NSBNEWS.net.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The late Doris Leeper would have been very proud of the achievements Sunday by Ann Brady and her army of volunteers at Sunday's "Horsin' Around" fundraiser for the Atlantic Center for the Arts. And why not? The event, under a big white tent at the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport drew some 500 patrons of the arts and generated upwards of $100,000 for the 27th annual fundraiser.

The name of the event has nothing to do with fun and games. Rather, it originated on a horse farm many years ago because of space with proceeds, then and now, going to the arts, said Kelle Groom, public relations specialist for the ACA founded by Leeper.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Art Walk will be held on historic Flagler Avenue from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, April 24. Attendees can take an enjoyable stroll along the avenue while enjoying the wide variety of art works featured inside galleries, as well as by several visiting artists under canopies, and also participate in a "wine tasting."
