The HeART of Turtles showcases the talent of local artists, and will hopefully promote St. Croix as an art destination. This installation will include eleven turtles in all, each created by local artists. This is a unique outdoor art installation that differs from others around the United States because the turtles were created from salvaged materials. Local woodworker Chris Lima created ten of the turtles from wire spools salvaged from the hurricane Maria recovery effort, railings discarded from the Randall ‘Doc’ James racetrack, and reclaimed rum barrels. Each turtle sculpture is 3-4 feet across and stands 5-6 feet high, and each is sponsored by a local business or individual(s).
