In the spirit of our namesake, Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling - artist and Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist - we host our second Artist in Residence program in 2021, featuring Fort Myers artist Rachel Pierce. 

Rachel will make her first appearance on December 1 for the 75th Anniversary Celebration & "Ding" Darling Day. 

Stay tuned to this page for further art events with Rachel throughout 2021. Mark your calendars for her Refuge Exhibition October 1 through November 10, 2021.
