Fine Art

Webster’s Dictionary defines fine art as 1: art (such as painting, sculpture, or music) concerned primarily with the creation of beautiful objects and 2: an activity requiring a fine skill.  One cannot discuss the history of fine art and fine art skill without diving into the life and work of Green Cove Springs native Augusta Savage.

Augusta Savage

Augusta Savage (1892 – 1962) was an American sculptor best known for her work during the Harlem Renaissance. An art teacher as well, she worked with budding artists of her time while also working for equal rights for African Americans in the arts throughout her lifetime.

Please refer to the following resources for more information about her inspirational life and her generational talent that eclipsed all gender and race boundaries of her day.

Public Notice - Main Courthouse

If you visit the Clay County Courthouse in Green Cove Springs over the weeks and months ahead, you will notice renovation projects happening here  – but all services remain available.

  • Construction/renovation began this week on the 2nd Floor (new side) – expect noise related to that work for several months (up to a year).
  • Contractors/vendors will enter/exit the courthouse regularly throughout the day, so parking in the area may be challenging – arrive early for any appointments.
  • Our Orange Park Branch and online options are available, as are other service options.
  • During September, renovation projects in Administration, Civil, and Clerk’s Finance (1st Floor) areas may temporarily alter those office/staff locations in the building, so pay special attention to security staff directions and signage.

Thank you for your patience during this time of improvement. Please keep an eye out for updates throughout the months ahead.
