What is Juice?

Juice is the annual breakfast event put on by the Regional Art and Culture Council where members of the business and arts community come together to celebrate outstanding achievement in expression, support and service in arts and culture in the tri-county area.

Juice was born out of the event known as Arts Breakfast of Champions.



Take a look back at last year’s event:
