The Gilded Dolphin Art Studios and Gallery is located in the heart of Amelia Island in downtown Fernandina Beach's scenic Historic District . The gallery was founded by Artist In Residence Lynne Pilkerton, whose mission it is to create a welcome environment for artists of all ages and stages.
When Lynne first came to the island she was told that all that was required for her to find open gallery space would be for another artist to die and give up their space. Thinking there must be a happier way, Lynne sought to carve out more space, not only for herself but for other artists who were currently on a Wait For Death list. After jumping through several red-tape hoops associated with getting an older building up to code and trimming the space with some fresh TLC, The Gilded Dolphin now waits with open arms to welcome area artists of all ages and stages... just like Lynne had hoped it would. The sunny nook is an ideal place for creating and appreciating art. As the site of various classes, camps and special events, The Gilded Dolphin is bringing the rhythm of a new art beat to the heart of Amelia Island. |
