art by louise hooper and johnny l. evans, jr

Glynn Visual Arts (GVA) presents the art of painter Louise Hooper and metal sculptor Dr. Johnny L. Evans, Jr, who is President of College of Coastal Georgia (CCGA) in Bold and Beautiful: A Celebration of Color and Metal. The public is invited to attend a free opening reception on Thursday, September 10, from 5:30 - 7 pm at GVA located at 106 Island Drive, St. Simons Island.
