Rookery Bay does more than manage coastal lands and promote a public sense of ownership of Southwest Florida’s natural resources. It also hosts art exhibitions, such as “Through the Light of the Estuary.”

“Through the Light of the Estuary” is a mixed media art show that’s on display in the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center through Oct. 29. Curated by Dianne Bras-Feliciano, the Baker Museum’s curator of modern art, the exhibition features 18 works by 11 artists in a wide range of media. The artworks depict scenes of and the plant and animal life found in Southwest Florida’s estuaries.

The show results from a long-standing partnership between the Friends of Rookery Bay and United Arts Collier to promote the arts and the environment through exhibitions that feature local artists juried by local art experts.
