Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails Catered Luncheon

11:30 am - 1:00 pm

The annual luncheon will be hosted at the Jesse Ball duPont Center and catered by Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails.  Vegan and vegetarian options are available to those who indicate in advance their dietary needs. Opening remarks at the luncheon will be led by City Council President Anna Brosche.  The keynote presentation will be provided by Lily Yeh, who has dedicated more than 30 years of her life to urban alchemy.  Her lifework is to use art as a vehicle and promote imagination and collaboration as tools to transform decay into vitality; and trauma and despair into hope and joy.

Lunch will be followed by a presentation in which the 2017 PNC Arts Alive Grant recipients are announced.  This year, PNC will award $60,000 in grants to four arts and culture organizations in Jacksonville as part of their Arts Alive initiative.
