Not only are there monthly shows and displays with public receptions, but art classes as well! I was privileged to partake in the February 2019 showing themed, "Red." The works on display varied tremendously in styles and techniques with many artists on hand to discuss their entries. Owner and artist, Julie Delf, was a wonderful hostess along with her husband, Mark. They offered a wide variety of complimentary hors d'oeuvres, wine, beer and water. Local artisan, Andrea Lee, was also creating onsite. I can't wait to go back in March to see all the mermaid themed creations!

I've lived in Fernandina Beach / Amelia Island my entire life, and this gallery was truly needed…read more From the moment you walk through the door, you feel welcomed -- there's an immediate warmth to the space, and the staff is genuinely approachable and engaged. While I deeply appreciate local art, coastal landscapes, and traditional beach scenes, I think the community -- or at least many of us -- has been quietly craving a broader cultural swing. As an abstract artist, I value all forms of expression, and I'm especially drawn to the diversity and curatorial range this gallery has brought to the island. The work feels thoughtful and intentional, offering a dialogue between contemporary voices and the local art scene. It adds depth, contrast, and a fresh perspective that elevates the overall cultural landscape here. This space doesn't just display art -- it invites conversation, curiosity, and connection. A welcome and meaningful addition to Amelia Island's creative community.

If you're a history lover and in the area, you can't miss the Amelia Island Museum of History -…read morewhich is housed in the old historic jail building. THe museum itself isn't the largest but you'll be very surprised at just how much has gone down on this small island on the edge of the Georgia/Florida state line. If it's any indication of just how tumultuous this area was - 7 distinct flags have flown over the island throughout written history. From natives to pirates to Spaniards and Confederates and everyone in between - there's a lot more to Amelia Island than just million dollar beach homes and waterside dining. Admission is $10 for adults. Make sure that you arrive with enough time to enjoy one of the complimentary docent tours. It's included with your museum admission so to not take advantage is a big missed opportunity. The tour we had lasted over 1 hour and in that time our guide covered essentially most things you would learn from reading the exhibit displays but with added insight. As an added bonus, there is a parking lot attached to the museum and plenty of street parking as well. I'd recommend starting your Amelia Island vacation with a trip to the museum so you can appreciate the historical footsteps you're walking in while on the island.

Worth a stop if you want to learn the history of beautiful Amelia island !…read more The Amelia Island Museum of History offers a well done look at the island's past, from the Timucua Indians to Spanish and French explorers and even pirates. The exhibits are interesting and well presented, with videos and displays that make the history come to life ! There is a docent led tour, which is included with admission. Tours run Monday-Saturday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., and they add great context and storytelling to the exhibits. Fun extras: there's a pressed penny machine for collectors and a passport stamps if you're tracking your travels. There's also a nicely stocked gift shop . Plan to spend at least 30 minutes here, though history lovers could easily stay longer depending on how much reading you want to do. Plenty of parking makes the visit even easier.
