6 -- Are you a local business owner who wants to …
 Have a targeted reach to your neighbors in Monroe and Walton County?
 Be associated with a F*u*N, positive, beautifying and uniting organization in our community?
 Spend your marketing dollars in a cost-effective and tax-wise way by leveraging our network of supporters through our newsletter, website, and social media?
 Help us make a difference through our healing arts programs for children, teens, adults and special needs?

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions … Look no further!

Monroe-Walton Center for the Arts is Walton County’s only nonprofit community art center. We are more than a gallery, gift shop and teaching center. We are a community that offers healing and beauty and connection.
