105. Beauty Between The Beaches: Fostering Arts And Culture For Rural Communities; with Bridgette Waldau, Okeechobee Main Street Arts & Culture Alliance Director

The importance of the arts to rural communities is often overlooked and under appreciated. Okeechobee has quickly become a shining example of how the arts can be used as a tool to showcase the lifestyle and character of rural communities thanks to the dedicated work of Okeechobee Mainstreet's Arts and Culture Alliance. As we close in on the installation and dedication of a sensational new sculpture project that will highlight Okeechobee's lengthy cattle heritage, it seemed like the perfect time for an in depth conversation on these topics with Bridgette Waldau, Arts and Culture Alliance Director.
