On December 22, 2024, our AFABW Florida Chapter produced a Holiday Showcase and Seminar at the Belleair Mission.

Guests entered the reception area as member LD Sledge began his lovely piano playing, while attendees signed-in, networked and mingled as they viewed the Fine Art on Display by many talented artists including: Angel Kourkoulou, LD Sledge, Avna Jungen, Claudia Oitaven, Richel Lavette and Kiana Lewis.

Then Florida Chapter Director and MC, Richel Lavette Lewis, began the show!

She welcomed everyone and introduced the performers; singers, musicians and poets.
These included Jac & Izzy of Topcasters Duo, Poet Sioux Hart, Singer/Songwriter Neal Fox, Steve Cherubino & Katie Nagy of Barcode Band, Poet Alan Graham, Poet Kevin Johnson, Singer Alex Watkins, Singer/Songwriter Karen Nelson Bell, and Singer Sylvie Taft.

Artists and Art Lovers were then treated to “The Code of Honor Seminar” by AI marketing pro Tony Rockliff.

There were many successes such as:

“I learned about how to be more causative as an artist”. BS

“To be more true to myself.” PN

“I Learned to be more Self determined.” – SA

“Integrity is essential to make your art beautiful and unique.” – EC
