Because our website calendar doesn't like events that last more than a day and often fails to display them properly, we're going to keep a running list of ART EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS right here with "Artie," the paint-splattered pooch as our mascot. Scroll through to see ongoing displays at our local galleries, followed by special art events we have listed by date.

Dara Pickren-Davis has always been fascinated with the ocean and the world contained under the waves. As a child, she spent hours reading all about marine animals and swimming as much as she could. An avid scuba diver, Dara has been a certified diver for over 20 years. While in Guam, Dara became a PADI Master Scuba Diver Instructor and had the opportunity to dive in and photograph some of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating dive locations including Chuuk (Truk Lagoon), Palau, and of course, her beloved Guahan (Guam).
A Brunswick native (Go Pirates!), Dara currently resides in Kingsland GA with her Divemaster husband, Howard and their three children, Hall, Ella, and Allie. She is currently the Artistic Director for Kingsland Station and the newly formed Kingsland Station Players.
