The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF), a 501-c-3 not-for-profit charitable arts organization, was
founded in 1995 on the cultural, educational and spiritual beliefs of the late Destin Matriarch, Mattie Kelly.
MKAF's mission is to be the leading art advocate supporting cultural arts and student educational outreach
serving Okaloosa and Walton counties in Northwest Florida. For 18 years, MKAF has presented and
created cultural programs to bring art enrichment, education and entertainment for the literary, performing
and visual arts to adult and children audiences.
For over 18 seasons, MKAF has presented a series of outdoor concerts suitable for families of all ages.
Recognized as one of Northwest Florida’s most popular family concert series, the popular annual event
has grown to 10-weeks and is listed as one of the top ten things to do in Northwest Florida by Florida
Travel & Tourism Guide.
MKAF has invested over 100% increase in the entertainment and stage production budget to raise the
caliber of local and regional touring artist in its new cultural venue. MKAF's concert marketing budget
and generous media sponsors provide over $40,000 in promotional advertising. Attendance during the 10-
week concert series is expected to attract record numbers between 10,000 to 15,000 people, representing
four generations of residents and visitors.

NFORMATION
MKAF recently conducted a market research survey from its members, sponsors, patron attendees, local
chamber memberships and Halifax Media subscribers. The objective was to assess community awareness
and understanding of the MKAF's mission and to garner valuable input on desired cultural activities and
programming. The following results were revealed from the market survey conducted by Majority
Opinion Research.
SURVEY CONCLUSIONS & CONCERT TARGET AUDIENCE
83% of the surveyed community is aware of Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation
Concerts in the Village has the highest level of awareness of all MKAF programs (78%) with
Festival of the Arts a close second (68%). These are also the most attended MKAF events and
have the highest conversion of awareness to attendance.
Of the surveyed, 40% earned over $100,000 household income, 15% earned between $75,000 and
$99,999, 17% earned $50,000 to $74,999, 12% less than $49,999 and 16% did not respond
40% male and 60% female survey responders ranged in age of 25 to 75 with an 57% between 35

This is an exciting year for MKAF and the Concerts in the Village series. MKAF is embarking on a new
cultural journey, developing the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village, a 52-acre parcel of land donated by the
late Mattie Kelly. In 2012, the Dugas Family Foundation generously awarded a $1,000,000 capital
improvement grant to build a permanent home for MKAF's two signature events, Concerts in the Village and
Festival of the Arts and a variety of other artistic performances.
The new project area comprises approximately 6.76 acres of green space, which will now accommodate
audiences of up to 5,000 people, 79,547 square feet of which is dedicated to provide highly-flexible space
for seating, artist and vendor tents and accessibility to lease to outside users.
The new stage will feature a 1,600 square foot stage and 4,860 square-foot covered pavilion with ramp
access. Additional capital improvements feature a commanding 20-foot metal sculpture entranceway, 1,924
square foot bathroom building with 360 square feet of general storage and additional 168 on-site grass
parking spaces combined with 309 shared parking spaces from adjacent property owners. The total Mattie
Kelly Cultural Arts Village encompasses 44.94 acres of pristine forest and wetlands in the heart of Destin,
serving the residents and visitors of Northwest Florida.
