The energy in these three words…Imagine…Inspire…Create….is positive and exciting! Just like the project they represent at Glynn Visual Arts!
GVA is in the midst of renovating their new space at 106 Island Drive here on St. Simons. This is the first time Glynn Visual Arts has put a capital campaign together. In the plans are state of the art classrooms, an expanded pottery studio and fabulous new gallery where local artists and artisans can display their work. Nothing opens the heart and feeds the soul like art can. This multi-faceted arts center will provide the space and opportunity for all to share, experience and enjoy!
The current location on Beachview Drive will become the home of the Golden Isles Convention and Visitors Bureau but will still contain the shops filled with lovely creations by local artisans for all to see as well as a small gallery for exhibits of local artist’s.
John Bauser, Executive Director, of Glynn Visual Arts states :
“When the Island Drive facility opens, Glynn Visual Arts will – for the first time in its 61 year history – occupy
facilities specifically designed for the visual arts. And, as a result of GVA’s partnership with the Golden Isles
Convention and Visitors Bureau, we will be able to operate in two locations with expanded facilities at
significantly reduced annual facilities-related expense.”
A project like this does not happen without the support of the community. The first phase of The Campaign for 106 Island Drive calls for $250,000 in contributions in order to make this dream come true.
What a great idea for a unique Christmas gift….a donation in the name of a family member or friend whose passion is supporting the local arts of Glynn County! To read more about the campaign and how to donate please visit here: http://www.glynnart.org/capital-campaign-2014.html,
The arts are the heartbeat of our wonderful community…giving to make this campaign a success is something I hope you’ll consider!
