JAXPORT Gallery

May 15 to June 22, 2012
Opening Reception May 24, 2012 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The Art Center Cooperative, the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), the Cathedral Arts Project, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Duval County Public Schools and Comcast developed and sponsored the River Art Mentorship Program — educationally based, maritime-themed art workshops for select Duval County Public School (DCPS) middle school students. The program provided creatively gifted students the opportunity to practice art, while expanding their knowledge of the region’s greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The students were encouraged to produce works of art which reflect both the industrial and natural beauty of the St. Johns River.

Located on the first floor of JAXPORT Headquarters, the Gallery features local artists rotating on a bi-monthly basis. JAXPORT Gallery is open during normal JAXPORT Headquarters hours and admission is free.
