Flying Colors – Julian Courtenay Hunt Lecture

Once again, The St Augustine Art Association brings another historian and acclaimed author, Dr. Wayne W. Wood, to present a free lecture on the life and work of the late Julian Courtenay Hunt; to be held on Thursday, February 20, at the St Augustine Art Association.

The exhibit was curated by Wood, who recently published a book about the artist to coincide with the exhibition and the Association’s 90th Anniversary. The talk begins at 7 p.m. at 22 Marine Street.
