Grace and Tyler explore how the Arts Council of Hillsborough County helps local artists grow, thrive, and keep the creative community vibrant. They sit down with Eileen Blake from the Arts Council and artist Caitlin Albritton to dive into the impact of arts funding and education across Tampa Bay.

Caitlin began her career as a painter before receiving Arts Council's Professional Development for Artists Grant. From that opportunity, she was able to expand her skills, eventually transitioning into fine art jewelry. Today, she combines her painting background with the techniques she learned after receiving the grant to create stunning, wearable works of art.

The Arts Council provides access to arts education, offers a variety of grant programs, and keeps the community informed about all things art. For more information visit HCFL.gov/ArtsCouncil.
