WHO WE ARE
Cinematique of Daytona is an independent community-based, mission-driven, nonprofit arthouse cinema in the heart of historic Downtown Daytona Beach. We believe in the power of films to change communities and lives.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide intriguing, entertaining, superior quality films that audiences will otherwise not see in Volusia County.
We strive to ensure the films we present are a reflection of our diverse community and that prices are acceptable to the broadest possible audiences.
Help Keep Arts & Culture Funded in Volusia County!
What’s happening (briefly): At the most recent County Council meeting, the county’s long-standing cultural grants were not moved forward for allocation. The funds remain in the budget but are currently unallocated. As a nonpartisan community arts nonprofit, Cinematique works with everyone—and we’re asking for your help to keep this modest, high-impact support in place for organizations county-wide.
Why it matters: These grants help keep doors open, lights on, and programs accessible—especially for students, families, and local artists. They are reimbursement-based and require documentation, ensuring accountability and good stewardship.
What can you do?
-
Sign & share the countywide petition: tinyurl.com/SaveVolusiaCultureFunding
-
Send a courteous email to the County Council asking them to restore this year’s budgeted cultural grants and maintain long-term support. Share a short personal story about why local arts matter to you. (Talking points and updates: volusiaculture.org/save-volusias-arts-culture/)
-
Show up: Mark the next meetings—Oct 21, Nov 4, Nov 18—and, if you’re able, speak briefly in support of restoring the grants.
-
Support locally: If you’d like to help Cinematique bridge uncertainty, please consider a direct donation or bring a friend to a screening.
Thank you for standing with us—respectfully and constructively—to keep arts and culture thriving in Volusia County. We’ll continue collaborating with partners across the county and will share any updates as soon as we have them.
