The Arts in Tallahassee, FL

Here in the Capital City, like the magnificent oak trees that provide canopies to our roads and line our beautiful parks, our arts and culture have very strong roots. From performing arts to outdoors and nature, Tallahassee offers something for everyone.

Understanding and acknowledging the incredible economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture, we must always remember their fundamental value. They foster beauty, creativity, originality, and vitality. The arts inspire us, sooth us, provoke us, involve us, and connect us. But they also create jobs and contribute to the economy.

Robert L. Lynch – President and CEO Americans for the Arts
