New Spirit Café … “A Time and Place to relax, listen, and let life be sweet.”
Mission: To inspire and nurture creativity through interdisciplinary artist residencies, dynamic artist collaborations, community engagement, and self-discovery within the experience of nature.
Vision: ACA enriches lives through the joy and power of the arts.
Values: We believe in the values that our founder Doris Leeper embraced.
• The creative spirit must be nurtured.
• There is a powerful connection between the arts and the natural environment.
• Supporting artists creates innovation and capacity, both locally and globally.
Atlantic Center for the Arts continues to preserve and protect these values.
Founded in 2007 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to using the arts—particularly the performing arts—to share a simple but powerful message: the ability to create is a gift shared by all. Over the years, the organization has led creative development classes such as Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, sponsored the Spirit Café, staged approximately 20 theatrical productions, employed jazz musicians, published numerous books by talented writers, and even produced a short film. Project selection has consistently focused on offerings that bring hope to audiences and the wider world, with an emphasis on honesty and substance rather than sentimentality. The mission has remained clear: to provide a platform for creative individuals—actors, writers, directors, and musicians—to reach for greater artistic expression and realize their full potential. More broadly, Positively Florida seeks to inspire individuals to view their lives as works of art they are fully entitled to shape and define for themselves.
That mission continues today. In 2024, the organization produced an uplifting new musical, Riding Time with No Hands, supporting Florida-based composer/lyricist Mary Beth Koplin and playwright Ed Koplin in bringing their work from script to stage. In 2025, Positively Florida will debut another original work, a comedy titled The God Account, written by advertising professional Dave Warren. A refreshed edition of Spirit Café is in development, and Eckhart Tolle’s Practicing the Power of Now is being added to the course offerings. The current season is marked by both momentum and creativity.
Gary Broughman is the founder and president of Positively Florida, Inc. He is a writer, poet, editor, publisher, stage producer and director, actor, and educator. His greatest joy lies in creating space for other creatives to explore and express their gifts.
