Cedar Key is known for fishing and clamming... but city officials say something else that's just as important to the community is art.
And when the only school on the island was threatened with losing its art program, students, teachers and residents went back to the drawing board.
The art program needs $60,000 a year to operate... a tab the city used to pay but can't afford anymore.
The mayor gave the school the last $40,000 in the art account, leaving students to raise the rest.
Between two fundraisers, and community donations, the school came up with the $20,000 they needed to keep the program for the next school year.
But until they find permanent funding... coming up with the money will continue to be an issue. And residents say losing the art program would mean losing their culture.
