An estimated 100-million sharks are killed each year for their fins. Through photography, painting, and different media, the participating artists aim to diminish the stigma that surrounds these creatures. The work will enrich the audience’s appreciation of threatened and endangered Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays.  

The “FLORIDA IS… Fins on the Brink: The Vanishing of Elasmobranchs” group show will be on exhibit at the Hibiscus Gallery at Pinecrest Gardens from May 3rd through May 27th, 2018.
