Founded in 1924, the St. Augustine Art Association is one of the oldest and most vibrant non-profit art organizations in the United States. The Art Association hosts exhibitions, lectures, workshops, tours, and special events and the gallery is free and open to the public. Largely forgotten by many, the Lost Colony was a group of artists from 1930-1950 who formed the St. Augustine Art Association and helped make this historic town a thriving winter art colony. Artists from northern states would capture Florida’s landscape through their work which was then sold to wealthy tourists visiting our beautiful city. The Art Association’s permanent collection includes original works by Lost Colony artists including Rosalie Barclay, Tod Lindenmuth, Blanche Lazzell, Emmett Fritz, and Anthony Thieme. This Friday, November 5th, the Art Association opens its newest Florida Wild exhibit, a vivid display exploring artistic interpretations of Florida’s wild side from the plants and animals to the wilderness and waterways.
