A rare look at the works of pioneering artist Edgar Degas comes to St. Augustine’s Lightner Museum in Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist – Works on Paper by the Artist and His Circle. Edgar Degas, one of the leading lights of the 19th-century art scene, is best known for his enchanting paintings of ballet dancers on and off the stage. But little is widely known about the enigmatic artist’s life and personality. Featuring over fifty original works by Degas, The Lightner Museum offers unique insights into Degas’ inner world and the opportunity to see rarely exhibited works from the private collection of curator Robert Flynn Johnson.
Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist is on view at the Lightner from April 12 – June 16, 2019. Our limited-engagement showing is free for museum members or for $5 above the price of museum admission. For more information visit LightnerMuseum.org.

Artist Jim Rivers, a “Wizard of Wood” and his Handcrafted Furniture featured at Butterfield Garage
2019-06-07 11:00 - 2019-06-30 17:00, 2019-06-07 17:00 - 21:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
Butterfield Garage June Feature Artist Jim Rivers, a “Wizard of Wood” and his handcrafted furniture. An Artist Talk, First Friday June 7th, at 6pm is an opportunity to experience the unbridled creativity of Jim and his often curious, always charming pieces of furniture.
Jim has been practicing woodcraft since he was a child, he began helping his woodcarver uncle search the woods for just the right piece of wood. Wood searching has been an important part of his life ever since. Over a lifetime, Jim has developed an eye for seeing potential in unusual pieces of wood. “Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to walk through the countryside and find a piece of the Almighty’s creation that I can take home, cut and polish, and turn into something that people will like.” His impressive wood collection includes, cedar, sweet-gum, oak and pine.
What an untrained eye might see as an imperfection, Jim sees as an opportunity. Its a wonder to watch him work. Crude logs are sawed, shaped and sanded, coaxed by his touch and sense of the wood’s potential. Edges are not precise. Surprises are embraced. The final finished piece is a work of art, no two pieces are alike. Jim works in his wood shop everyday, and is continually collecting new wood and experimenting with new techniques. Butterfield has been graced with his mirrors, tables and benches for years, and they have become enthusiastically collected. When his studio was next door at the former Energy Lab, Jim could be spotted making furniture on the front portico of the gallery. Butterfield Garage will be freshly stocked with new pieces, placed throughout the gallery during the month of June.
