Over the past 60 years, the Links have had a keen devotion to the Arts. The Arts facet is focused upon cultural enrichment and preservation. The West Palm Beach Chapter is committed to providing exposure to African-American artists, and well as exposing under-privileged children to the Arts. Through this facet, the Links have help to ensure that the Arts remain an integral part of our society, and to assist our future leaders in becoming well-rounded citizens.  The West Palm Beach Chapter’s 2009-2011 programming includes:

THE NORTON ART MUSEUM
Through a partnership with the Norton Art Museum, this facet will serve as Host Committee for select events, and provide exposure to the students groups from the National Trends and Services to Youth Facets.  The first event for this program is the “Ineria Hudnell Black History Display,” which will begin on Saturday, November 14, 2009.
