One the most photographed and painted subjects is Boca Grande’s historic Gasparilla Island Lighthouse.  The lighthouse was recently restored with a multimillion dollar renovation that allows visitors to sign up through the Barrier Island Parks Society (BIPs) to climb the lighthouse for amazing views.  Today, just as it has for several decades, the lighthouse is an amazing subject for area artists.

Tarpon, Redfish and more…

Of course if you’re considering Boca Grande art, the most iconic fish of Boca Grande is the famous Tarpon, known as the “Silver King” to fishing enthusiasts from around the world.  Boca Grande is known as the “Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World” in the Summer months from April to July.
