Support for the arts was in full bloom at Cathedral Arts Project’s Spring for the Arts annual fundraiser, held April 26 at Epping Forest Yacht and Country Club. The evening raised a record-breaking $820,579 in support of arts education and therapeutic programs for children and young adults. Since its inception, the event has generated nearly $9 million for the cause.

In addition to gourmet cuisine, live music, dancing and auctions, the event honored Karen and Gregory Montana as its Guardian of the Arts Award recipients for their work to safeguard and advance the arts along the First Coast. Amy and Gary Norcross served as honorary chairs, and Marisa and Frank Martire chaired the event.

“It is with immense gratitude from the entire CAP family that I say ‘thank you’ to every attendee, sponsor and donor who made this year’s Spring for the Arts our most successful fundraiser yet,” said Rev. Kimberly L. Hyatt, CAP President and CEO. “It is a testimony not only to the generosity of our community but also their commitment to providing all children along the First Coast access to quality arts education.”

The 20th Annual Spring for the Arts will be held April 4, 2025.
