Marco Shell Club Annual Shell Art Sale

The Marco Island Shell Club, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is proud to present their annual Spring Expo and Shell Art Sale on March 8th & 9th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the New Life Community Church located at 489 W. Elkcam Circle, Marco Island. This two-day event showcases the beautiful shells found on the island which are used by club members to create one-of-a-kind objects d’art. In addition, amazing artistic and scientific exhibits will be showcased – all of which support the mission of the club to “…promote the study, conservation, history, and science of seashells and mollusks, and to encourage shell-related interests, such as shell collecting, crafting, and shell art.” 

Original shell-enhanced items being sold include gnomes, owls, wind chimes, ornaments, decorative pieces, tissue boxes, flowers, critters, lamps, frames and much more. According to President Cindy Wesolowski, “Annual attendees line up before the doors open to be the first to explore the hundreds of items for sale and on display. Due to the success of last year’s expo, we are able to provide $20,000 toward scholarships, and educational grants and provide free seminars to the public regarding marine sciences, water sciences or sea life. We’re grateful to the public and individual donors for coming to our show and/or giving through our website www.marcoislandshellclub.com”
