The Academy of Golf Art: Artists of the Game

The Academy of Golf Art marks its fifteenth anniversary in 2018 with its first-ever exhibition at the Morris Museum of Art. The exhibition includes twenty-seven works—sculpture, paintings, works on paper, and photographs—by renowned golf artists Richard Chorley, Hertfordshire, England; David Coolidge, Naples, Florida; Glenn Davis, Hurst, Texas; the late Leslie B. DeMille; Dom Furore, Traverse City, Michigan; Linda Hartough, Okatie, South Carolina; George T. Lawrence, Jr., Westhampton Beach, New York; Brad Pearson, Holdrege, Nebraska; and Noble A. Powell III, Port Hueneme, California. 

The academy accomplishes its goals through public education and the exhibition of works of art that represent the game of golf, as well as its physical settings, participants, and traditions. Demonstrations, competitions, and critiques sponsored by the academy supplement and complement its educational efforts. The academy sustains an open artist network that promotes the exchange of ideas and information related to golf and the industry that supports it.
