Initiated in 2024 following the passage of HB 523, the goals of the Florida Seal of Fine Arts are as follows:

• • celebrate students who demonstrate high levels of commitment and proficiency in the fine arts (as defined in Florida Statute 1003.4995 including dance, music, theatre, and visual arts) through personal expression and creative experiences in fine arts education programs

  • explore innovative pathways in the fine arts that cultivate skills for 21st-century success

  • prepare students for college and career readiness through active participation in artistic endeavors

  • promote increased access to well-rounded, high-quality fine arts education across the district

The Florida Seal of Fine Arts designates graduating seniors who have dedicated a significant portion of their high school journey to the study and pursuit of excellence in their fine arts field.
