Under the Same Sky: Aviles & St. Augustine, 1924-2024
In-Gallery & Online: September 24 - October 31
In 2024, the Sister Cities of Avilés, Spain, and St. Augustine, Florida, commemorated the 100th anniversary of their relationship with events in both countries, including delegation visits to Avilés and St. Augustine.
A St. Augustine delegation visited Avilés in August 2024 to meet with Spanish officials. Part of that experience included a cultural exchange between St. Augustine artist Martha Ferguson and Avilés artist Samuel Fernández Armas. For the first time ever, the artists participating in the cultural exchange were also part of the official delegation.
Under the Same Sky is co-presented by the St. Johns Cultural Council and the St. Augustine Art Association. This exhibition features works by Ferguson, Armas, and 15 local artists selected to participate in a plein air painting event held during the Aviles Street Festival on September 8, 2024.
You can also experience the Under the Same Sky exhibit in-person by visiting the Rotunda Gallery in the St. Johns County Admin Building (located at 500 San Sebastián View in St. Augustine) now through October 31st.
Programs & Exhibits of the St. Augustine Art Association are funded in part by grants from the the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council, the St. Johns County Cultural Council, the Community Foundation of Northeast Florida, and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
