National Society of Arts and Letters Celebrates at Season Opening

“The season has officially begun for the Florida East Coast Chapter of The National Society of Arts and Letters members, patrons and friends,” announced President Shari Upbin. The chapter now encompasses all of the east coast of Florida from Jacksonville to Key West and includes Gainsville.

“Through the generosity of New Epic Media, we have created a new logo and branding and are moving forward in keeping with our time-honored tradition of discovering, cultivating and assisting young artists.”

The NSAL’s elegant five-course dinner party was once again hosted by NSAL members Bob and Dorinda Spahr in their Highland Beach Home.

During the social hour, guests, seated concert-style around the grand piano, enjoyed a number of musical selections from two talented soloists. Chloe Dolandis, first place winner of the 2012 NSAL Musical Theatre Competition and award winning soloist Avery Sommers

Proceeds from the benefit are earmarked for competitions, scholarships and opportunities to showcase young artists in dance, drama, art, literature, music, musical theatre and voice.  New members are always welcomed.
