A Bit About Turtles

By now you may have noticed the artistically decorated turtles around town. Turtles on the Town is what this display has been named and features 50 turtles decorated by 50 different artists. The display is geared towards an auction, which will take place in March of 2016, that will benefit the United Arts Council, The Conservancy of Southwest Florida and The Community Foundation of Collier County. Until the auction takes place and these turtles find new homes the community has the privilege of enjoying them. Each turtle was commissioned by a different local company and some reflect the companies that paid for them. There are quite a few that reflect more of the artists and their views. This is what I'd like to explore a bit today.
