Rosemary Beach Foundation
Promoting the Arts in Education
Over 4,000 students (K–12th grade) from 18 Walton County and Home Schools participated in the 9th Annual Music in Pictures. Presented by Rosemary Beach Foundation, this educational art initiative promotes creativity, encourages self-expression and fosters appreciation of symphonic music through visual interpretation.
“Students love the freedom and encouragement to create a unique work specific to their individual thought process of classical music selections,” said Brittany Grant, art educator at Walton Middle School.
This year’s Music in Pictures celebrated the music of three American composers. Students created artwork inspired by classical compositions by William Kroll, John Adams and Mark O’Connor. Through a juried art contest, 403 paintings were selected for public exhibition.
Due to the social distancing restrictions, the 2020 medalists were recognized in a virtual awards ceremony featuring harpist, Katie Ott.
