History, Culture & Arts

At the June 3, meeting the City Commission unanimously approved the creation of the Apalachicola Board of History, Culture, and Arts.

The Vision of this newly formed Board is to work diligently to ensure a quality visual arts program that will secondarily support the Apalachicola Museum of Art and begin a process to secure for the City the Historic Dixie Theater as a Performing Arts Center.

The arts programs will improve the quality of life for all the residents of Apalachicola, most importantly, they will provide opportunities for success that the youth of our city need. The program will also support the efforts of the Community Pride and Main Street programs.

Board members include Commissioner Val Webb, Joe Taylor, Bill and Lynn Wilson Spohrer, Ed Springer, Teresa Ann Martin, Anita Grove, Maria Marshall and Pam Mahr. The Commission placed the Board under the umbrella of the City’s Parks & Recreation Program.
