Description
Twenty color slides. Images of fishers and architecture on Gaspirilla Island, including the town of Boca Grande. A highlight is the Gaspirilla Island lighthouse (1890-1966), that is today part of Gaspirilla Island State Park. The Southwest Florida Folk Arts Project was conducted under the direction of Barbara Beauchamp in two phases: 12 November 1987 through 31 January 1988 by Debbie Fant; and in February 1988 by Nancy Nusz. Using a 35mm camera and a Sony tape recorder, and funded through a NEA grant,the two fieldworkers spoke with over fifty informants in Manatee, Sarasota, Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties, resulting in 20 participants chosen for a special SW Florida folklife area at the 36th Annual Florida Folk Festival.
