Presented by Rosemary Beach Foundation, Music in Pictures is an educational arts initiative and juried art contest open to ALL students in grade K-12 in the Walton County school system – both public and private.
Created in collaboration with professional musicians and university faculty, Music in Pictures encourages lifelong appreciation of symphonic music, enhances learning and provides educational enrichment.
