January 6-28 , 2012 At once bold, humorous, mysterious, and poetic, Scott Foxx's paintings combine modern methods and contemporary ideas with the iconography of Southern folk art and art brut.

March 2-31 Reflections is a national program of the PTA that provides opportunities for students to express themselves and to receive positive recognition for their artistic efforts.

Come see the winning work created by our own local students in this eclectic show. Opening reception Friday, March 2, 5-8 pm. |
April 6-28 The students are back with even wilder visions in just about every medium (including some you probably haven't even thought of before)! This acclaimed annual juried exhibition features incredible art fashioned out of disposable materials. Co-sponsored by Keep Brunswick-Golden Isles Beautiful, this is a great way not only to give K-12 students a creative workout but also to instill a sense of pride and civic responsibility as it teaches about recycling, reusing, and repurposing the overabundance of trash we discard. Opening reception Friday, April 6, 5-8 pm |
