St. Lucie Cultural Alliance — Local services in Fort Pierce

My experiences with St Lucie Culture Alliance have been less than positive. From the point that I became a member a couple of years ago and there after I decided to cancel my membership. From day one when I had met with the Curator, Ms Long it clearly came across that her main objective was to get me to become a member at the highest cost possible and had shown no real interest in what I had to say or my art work that I had brought samples of. There after for the time that I was a member I only had negative experiences with the way that Ms. Long would give me false information about shows that I could participate in over and over again and they would never materialize or she would not get back to me. It was just about impossible to get through to her or get through to other staff. The few pieces that I had displayed in one of the exhibits had been damaged and because she was rushing me to take them after the exhibit I noticed the damage once I had brought them home. All the time she would schedule pickup dates and at the last minute would change them. There was one time that I wanted to rent room space for a month and she completely discouraged me with no explanation. After all that I decided that I would not renew my membership again until march 11th when I decided that perhaps after a year and a half later perhaps things had changed so I reached out to the new director,(Maddie Williams and I emailed her explaining that I was a former member and that I was interested in finding out as to wether there was a possibility to rent room space. I emailed her on 3-11-25 and today is 3-20-25. No response once again. The staff on the upper hierarchy of command do absolutely nothing to help or listen to the artists. What a waste of time and something needs to be done...

Tried to visit and speak with the director Alyona. She came across as pompous and boisterous. Not very engaging, nor encouraging to me as an artist. She was far more interested in getting my money to become a member, than to answer my simple questions about the benefits of the organization and things that it has done. After doing more research on the organization, I found out that she has a history of questionable activities in this area, having been removed from projects in Delray and...
