Antiques by Carla Cook Smith.

The Jekyll Island Arts Association will host the exceptional work of photographer; Carla Cook Smith and whittler; Ernest Shaver on exhibit at Goodyear Gallery January 4th – 31st. The artists’ reception will be held Sunday, January 10th from 1–3 p.m.

Photographer, Carla Cook Smith discovered a new side of her self when she picked up a camera. As a painter, she photographed places and things she wanted to paint. However she started to see the beauty of photography all on its own. The lens opened to show her the extraordinary beauty of ordinary things. Through the camera Carla takes the time to absorb the beauty of what is before her: storm clouds on the marsh, sand blowing across the desert, a dusty radio, an interesting reflection or a new perspective of a cemetery. Carla’s hope is that her work opens others to pleasant thoughts and new experiences.

Woodpecker by Ernest Shaver

Self taught in the art of hand carvings whittler, Ernest Shaver began wood carving with a pocket knife in 1980. Early on, he concentrated on hand carving walking sticks that feature mammals, reptiles, human faces, vines, and abstract images. Most recently, he started hand carving song birds and woodpeckers using several wood types such as bass, buckeye, and tupelo. Ernest strives to develop the implied image of each walking stick or bird by the natural shape of the original wood.

Admission is always free in Goodyear’s gallery and shop which is located in the Jekyll Island Historic District. Their regular hours are Monday–Friday, Noon–4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m.–4 p.m.

date | January 4th – 31st, Monday–Friday
hours | 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

location | Goodyear Gallery
price | Free entrance

1929 Morgan Tennis Center is scheduled to reopen in June 2010 as a Multi-use facility.

Jekyll Island Authority has entered into an agreement with Jekyll Landmark Associates (a Jekyll Island Club Hotel affiliate) to do an adaptive reuse of the 1929 Morgan Tennis Center.

This will include exterior work, as well as refurbishing the interior with the addition of restrooms and an event balcony so that the building can be used for weddings, meetings, banquets, and other events. New food service/kitchen facilities will be added to the existing building. The completed facilities will open in June 2010 and will be used along with temporary structures and tents in the adjacent parking area for convention and meeting events during the June 2010 to December 2011 construction of the new Convention Center. The Morgan Building, when completed, will be operated by the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.

Jekyll Island revitalization is NOW UNDERWAY and the initial phase is now being realized with the completion of the design for Great Dunes Park.

The first phase of the park consists of 8 acres with the northern boundary at the intersection of Beachview Drive and Shell Road. The entirely new accessible park experience includes; new landscaping, walks and parking (195 spaces), three family pavilions, one group pavilion, a 4,100 SF Beach Deck Pavilion, and a Restroom/Changing building. The Beach Deck Pavilion connects to an accessible dune crossover for access to the beach. Bicycle parking, showers, and an environmental sculpture area will also
complement the new park. The pavilion structures have a relaxed coastal style and are constructed of pressure treated wood with standing seam metal roofs. The Restroom building includes individual changing areas for men and women and has low maintenance stained concrete floors and standing seam metal roofing.

Construction will begin with the December 7th ground breaking. Phase I of Great Dunes park will take approximately 5 1/2 months and will be complete by summer 2010.
