Articles and essays from Resource Library:

Lost Colony: The Artists of St. Augustine, 1930-1950 by Robert W. Torchia

From other websites:

The St. Augustine Art Association was established in 1924. The Association website says: "The St. Augustine Art Association emerged as part of local art history in 1924, when Nina Hawkins, the first female editor of_The St. Augustine Record_, gathered together wintering artists and writers to form The Pen & Brush Club, which soon became "The Galleon Club." Miss Hawkins continued over the years to promote this St. Augustine group of artists through the local newspaper. Other charter members included photographer F. Victor Rahner, writers John and Georjina Jex, and painter John Parker. The Galleon Club went through several fits and starts over the next few years, until in 1931, Hildegarde Mueller-Uri and J. Dexter Phinney organized the Club with the intent to transform St. Augustine into a major winter art colony. They persuaded the City of St. Augustine to allow them to use the former Waterworks building in Davenport Park as a clubhouse and exhibition gallery." Accessed 5/22
