A private gallery evening and unveiling with 30A's original residents.

 

 

There is a 30A that most people never see. It exists in the hour before the first beach umbrella goes up, in the treeline where the longleaf pines give way to sugar sand, and in the quiet moments when this coast remembers what it has always been. It is the 30A that belongs to the deer, the herons, the ghost crabs navigating the shoreline at dusk. It is the 30A that Zach Jones has spent years pursuing with patience, reverence, and a deep belief in the beauty of Creation.

This June, Wild Feather Gallery is proud to present "Natives" — a private gallery evening centered on the premiere unveiling of one of the most remarkable moments Zach has ever witnessed and captured. A mother deer and her fawn, standing together on the white sand beaches of 30A, captured in a moment that rarely occurs anymore. It is a testament to what this place still holds, for those willing to be still enough to witness it.

Alongside this centerpiece unveiling, "Natives" will feature a curated collection of Zach's artworks from across the Emerald Coast: shorebirds in flight, ghost crabs on the tide line, the full breadth of wildlife that has made this stretch of shoreline home since long before we discovered it. Each piece is a reminder that long before this shore had a name, it had them.

"Natives" is an evening for collectors, nature lovers, and anyone who has ever stood on this shore and felt, for just a moment, like a guest in someone else's paradise. 

Attendance is complimentary, but reservations are required due to limited space. Reserve your space now

We look forward to welcoming you, and sharing a quiet and inspiring evening together.
