Flightlines - The Stories Behind the Stories

Imagine the impact of unlocking the creative potential for the arts in rural Florida. The Arts and Agriculture Project is doing just that.

With a grant from the Florida Arts & Culture within the Florida Department of State, thousands are experiencing the arts through individual "Art in a box" kits distributed by the Florida Agricultural Extention offices.

Floridians from youth to seniors and everyone in between will be able to unlock the arts with their own hands.
