Several Jacksonville organizations are celebrating the St. Johns River through art.
The "Year of the River" is an ongoing initiative, and many arts and culture groups — including WJCT — are taking part.
Cultural Fusion is celebrating the St. Johns River all throughout 2015 as the "cultural current of our city" with an entire year of programming by more than 50 cultural and environmental institutions.
In an interview on "First Coast Connect," Hope McMath, director of the Cummer Museum, discussed some of the museums contributions to the project.
"The Cummer is making multiple contributions to 'Year of the River.' The real anchor of that is an exhibition entitled reflections which marries historic works of art in our collection that celebrate Florida's waterways — really over many centuries — with contemporary artists in our community," McMath said.
