It took months of planning between inspired coastal agencies, with continuous, curated attention from numerous creative minds and countless hours of hands-on planning to form the multi-dimensional exhibitions, which have been ongoing since late April, in the central hub of St. Simons’ Glynn Visual Arts studio and gallery.

This months-long project, “Animals and Us,” is a mix of artistic mediums featuring the works of painters Ella Cart, Bettina Dickson Rusher and Ken Wallin. It’s also been an ongoing collaboration between GVA members and the Jekyll Island Conservation Authority, Coastal Wildscapes and others.
