The Friends of St. Augustine Amphitheatre (FOSAA) present The United States Navy Band!
America’s Navy is coming to St. Augustine, Florida, one of only twenty cities in six states chosen to host a performance by the United States Navy Band during its 2020 tour — one of the signature outreach programs of the U.S. Navy!
As the original ensemble of the Navy Band, the Concert Band has been performing public concerts and participating in high-profile events for more than 95 years. Joined by the Sea Chanters, the official chorus of America’s Navy and the Cruisers popular music group, the versatility of the ensemble expands to include music ranging from traditional wind band repertoire to Broadway showstoppers, rhythm and blues, pop and patriotic favorites. These elite ensembles combine their world-class talents to create a dynamic musical production sure to delight audiences of all ages.
One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy.
“For many years, Navy bands have been where it matters, when it matters, just like the rest of our Navy. Today, we have Sailors performing around the world, improving relations with our allies abroad as well as telling the Navy story here at home.” –Capt. Kenneth Collins, U.S. Navy Band commanding officer

THE CARAVACA CROSS HAS BEEN STOLEN!!!
In 2002, during an archaeological investigation of the property of the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum, a fascinating discovery was made…a 17th century caravaca cross. The caravaca cross was first produced to celebrate the end of the Black Death in Europe.
Believed to be the only example of a caravaca cross to be found in North America, the cross is kept under lock and key, but it has disappeared!
Authorities have been called, and they believe the culprit and the cross are still somewhere within the museum. Help us discover the identity of the thief, in which room, and where in the room, they hid the cross.
Starting tonight at 6:30pm, and every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights going forward, we will be hosting Heist at the Museum. Admission is $20 per person, and the game will last approximately ninety minutes.
This is the perfect event for birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or just something different for a fun night out in downtown St. Augustine.
For more information, or to pre-purchase Heist in the Museum tickets, stop by or call or gift shop at (904)342-8887.

Midnight in the Garden of Indigo Batik Exhibit
2020-02-29 11:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
Cindy Wilson’s indigo batiks are featured in February at Butterfield Garage Gallery
Friday February 7, 2020, at 6:00pm Cindy will present an artist talk explaining her process, and experiences of working with indigo.
The show, titled Midnight in the Garden of Indigo results from Cindy’s focus in 2019 learning to use indigo dye for batiks. The infinite shades of blue, and the extreme lightfastness of indigo intrigued her, and indigo research and dye vats soon took over her studio. Dying with indigo requires both science and art. The results are batiks that have an other worldly feel, a haunting stillness, and though the images are beautiful, they reveal an incomplete visual story. These monochromatic images will encourage the viewer to see the familiar in a new light as well.
Cindy’s batiks are known for the high level of detail and painterly quality she is able to express with the medium. A long background of drawing has guided her work. Cindy uses a tjanting tool from Indonesia to apply hot wax much in the same way as an artist uses a quill to lay down ink. Layer by layer the liquid wax seals the color she wants to preserve, before the next dye is applied. Her process of building colors directly on the fabric is unique, and creates the depth of color seen in her batiks. “Balancing the technical process while keeping a feel of spontaneity is my overall focus as I work on a piece” Cindy explains.
During the past five years, Cindy’s work has caught the attention of both jurists and collectors. She has been included in numerous regional shows and her batiks grace the homes of many collectors around the country. She teaches her technique in classes at The Bascom Center for the Arts in Highlands NC, as well as locally.
A short history of indigo and its role in St. Augustines past, plus A hands on demonstration of batik and the indigo dying process will be presented Saturday Feb 22, at Butterfield Gallery.
