Who doesn’t love animals? From household pets to beasts in the wild, Beaufort Art Association Gallery is hosting a new exhibit called “Animals We Love.” The Association has over 200 local member artists and over 75 will be exhibiting their favorite creatures – great and small.

The painting on our cover is "Color Burst" by Dennis Lake. It took First Place in the Oil Category at the Society of Bluffton Artists' Annual Judged Show on April 8th. For more information about SOBA and to see the other winners, visit www.sobagallery.com

It all began with a pen and ink artist out of New York. Harry Palmer was the first artist of the Palmer family, a well-known multi-generational family of artists. Generations later, Jim and Addison Palmer are collaborating with their Art League of Hilton Head exhibition, Generations, running May 3-28, 2016 with an Opening Reception on Thursday, May 5th from 5-7pm.
