     Local artist Douglas Jones has a gallery full of wacky and whimsical folk art creations. His work is a combination of thrift shop finds, found objects, and yard sale discoveries! Truly, the Douglas Jones Fish Art Gallery has been a must-see Tybee experience since it’s opened eight years ago. A mix of art and fun beach items inside, and an open air gallery outside, it is truly a sight to behold!

     This Friday, September 3, the gallery will be unveiling Jones’ latest piece at the First Friday Art Night! The 15 foot sculpture is nameless at the moment, but is simply being called The Mermaid. The Release of the Mermaid ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. at the gallery and there will be food, drinks, and loads of fun! Also, there will be a contest to name the piece, so make sure you start brainstorming now!
