In the spirit of our namesake, Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling - artist and Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist - we host our third Artist in Residence program in 2022-2023, featuring Miami artist Jacqueline Roch. 

Stay tuned to this page for further art events with Jacqui in 2022 and through June 2023. She will be showing her Refuge-inspired work at the Visitor & Education Center auditorium September 1 to the end of October, 2022, as has become artist-in-residence tradition.. 

For questions, contact the "Ding" Darling Wildlife Society at 239-472-1100 ext. 4 or by email. You can help support the artist-in-residence program with philanthropic donations.
