Join us at the UGA Aquarium for the opening week of “SUBMERGED: An Underwater Exhibition of Bioceramic Artwork,” which will feature pieces created by Assistant Professor Casey Schachner, a 2022 Georgia Sea Grant Artists, Writers, Scholar’s award recipient, and her students at Georgia Southern University Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art. The pieces are made from a native algae material, and they will be displayed in the aquarium’s 16 exhibit tanks.

On opening day (June 10), some of the artists will be on hand as part of our World Oceans Day celebration to talk about the inspiration behind their artwork, which will eventually be placed in the Skidaway River behind the aquarium with the goal of forming new oyster reefs.

This special exhibition will be available to view until July 31, 2023. Learn more about UGA Aquarium hours and admission fees here.
