About

The Arts Alliance of Putnam (AAP)

Igniting Creativity. Building Community. Enriching Lives Through the Arts.

The Arts Alliance of Putnam (AAP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the creative sector in Putnam County, Florida. We believe that art has the power to transform lives, uplift communities, and create lasting connections between people of all ages and backgrounds.

Founded by local artists and advocates, the AAP brings together a growing network of creatives, cultural organizations, educators, and supporters to foster a thriving arts ecosystem in our region. Whether you’re a professional artist, hobbyist, student, teacher, performer or art lover—there’s a place for you in our vibrant alliance.

What We Do

AAP is committed to:

• Supporting Local Artists through exhibitions, professional development, and collaborative opportunities

• Bringing Art to the Community with inclusive programming, neighborhood outreach, and public art events like the Palatka Art Safari

• Expanding Arts Education through after-school classes, workshops, and intern training programs for youth and adults

• Creating Spaces for Expression by activating underutilized buildings and advocating for accessible, welcoming venues for all

We believe that art should be everywhere—and for everyone.

Our Vision

The AAP envisions a creative, connected Putnam County where the arts are a source of pride, economic vitality, and community well-being. Together, we are building a future where every neighborhood pulses with creativity, every resident has access to artistic experiences, and the next generation of talent is nurtured right here at home.
