Aquarium ArtWalk

The Aquarium ArtWalk Project kicks off its monthlong Aquarium ArtWalk on March 5. The ArtWalk is a countywide exhibit displaying aquarium themed artworks by over 50 local artists in libraries and other venues throughout Brevard. The 100% volunteer driven project was designed to help promote the future Aquarium being built by the East Coast Zoological Society, known for its flagship location, Brevard Zoo.

Works by multiple artists will be featured at each location. Artists were asked to submit aquarium themed pieces which were selected on the basis of merit and relevance to life on the Indian River Lagoon. The juried works represent a variety of perspectives that locals are sure to recognize. Whether featuring scenes of wildlife, landscapes, or fun in the sun, these works will inspire viewers to reflect deeply on life in and around the Indian River Lagoon.

The free public event, being held in participating Brevard County venues, runs from March 5 through March 27. Artworks will be available for viewing during regular business hours. Visitors are encouraged to take selfies and share on social media to help spread the word about the Aquarium. A kid’s activity guide will be available at most of the venues. Information about Our Legacy Campaign, the fundraising effort to make The Aquarium Project possible, will also be available. ArtWalk maps and artist information can be found on the Aquarium ArtWalk website, https://www.AquariumArtWalk.org.

The Aquarium, a destination for kids of all ages, will be built at Port Canaveral on the Banana River and is targeted to open in a few years. The Aquarium will offer interactive experiences that spotlight conservation efforts, the Indian River Lagoon and marine animal rehabilitation programs. In keeping with Brevard Zoo’s tradition, it promises great fun!
