Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast was part of the unveiling of Clearwater Beach’s newest masterpiece….The Gallery at Sandpearl.

A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held on Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 10:00AM in which the new gallery showcasing the work on many Florida artists was opened.  Mr. Stuart Arp, General Manager for the Sandpearl Resort welcomed guests, political officials and invited Carl Lavender, President/CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast to speak about the importance of partnerships in our community.

As part of The Gallery at Sandpearl’s Grand Opening, several artists volunteered their talent and time to paint a mural (along with all of our North Greenwood Club Members, of course) at the North Greenwood Boys & Girls Club in Clearwater on Wednesday, February 17, 2010.  Our kids, staff and the artists had a blast and the wall mural is truly a work of art!

“The experience was so amazing!  I am so truly impressed with your organization and the wonderful children and teens we were so blessed to work with that day.  The boys and girls were so appreciative, but we continue to feel that we owe the thanks to them for the making such an impact on our lives” said Lisa Marie Potts, of HG Art Consultants in Orlando. 

Thank you Sandpearl for including Boys & Girls Clubs in the Gallery Grand Opening and thank you Lisa, Chris and Star sharing your talents with our kids & Club!
