It's no mystery that art and culture are important for both economic development and a happier way of life. As a local artist, I think it is truly exciting to see an organization like the Magnolia Art Xchange (MAX) making such large strides in our community. This hard-working group of individuals have big dreams for Ocala's future and are dedicated to turning those dreams into a reality that is beneficial for everyone.
Participating and earning an award at MAX's 2016 Student and Emerging Artist Competition was a wonderful experience that yielded many great benefits to my artistic career. With prizes like a seasonal booth at the First Friday Art Walk and membership to the Appleton Museum, I have become more involved in the growing local art community.
