Donna Guzzo, President and CEO of First Coast Cultural Center announced today the nonprofit organization’s new building has formally opened with arts, culture, community activities, and a gift shop at 6000B Sawgrass Village Circle in Ponte Vedra Beach. The two-story, 6,000-square-foot space was funded in part by local donors and an additional support campaign is currently in place.

According to Guzzo, the donations also help to expand local programs for adults and children in art, music, and culture, bringing in renowned artists, performers, instructors, and audio visual equipment, among others. Guzzo also announced a new milestone partnership with Florida Ballet with dance instruction, programs, and classes. Additionally, the Cultural Center is now a Certified Autism Center accredited through The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). The local organization now joins worldwide members who are leaders in working with the autism and neurodiversity community.
