It's been a while since I blogged about the Daytona Beach area cultural scene, and I think it's time I got back to it. This post is about the Surf Exhibit that is currently on display at the Ormond Beach Memorial Art Museum. (The link to the display will change with each exhibit)

This exhibit's featured artists are...

• Marc Barrett
  
• Marlyn Catlow
  
• Christine Colby
  
• Chaz Daugherty
  
• Sandy Fraser
  
• Dave Hettel
  
• Kenny Miller
  
• Melissa Miller Nece
  
• John Peccio
  
• Paul Prewitt
  
• Albert Shelton
  
• Joulia Vitaliy

Also on display in this exhibit, you'll find some rare photos, uncovered by the Volusia County Beach Services. These fascinating pieces of history depict the earliest decades of life guards on our beaches.

During this exhibit, food and refreshments will be served for a small fee, and if you own a local business, you may want to sponsor a portion of this event.

There are MANY other happenings during this unique Surf Exhibit, which runs through August 3, 2008, and I encourage you to visit the Ormond Beach Memorial Art Museum site for more information. But I'd like to draw your attention to one more aspect of this exhibit, which is sponsored by one of my personal favorite causes here in Volusia. The sponsor is the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet, which I have blogged about many times! Feel free to take a little side-step and read those posts...
