The St. Johns River runs right through the middle of Jacksonville, but many people who live here don t take much notice of it unless they re crossing one of the city s seven bridges. And that bothers Brett Waller.
Walller is curating a new art show that celebrates the St. Johns and its sister rivers, the Trout and Ribault. Th3Rivers Project opens Friday at the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Springfield and runs through May.
