The Henderson Resort and Spa will host Art Wave on Thursday, January 10, 2019. Art Wave 2019 is an art exhibition dedicated to celebrating local artists who have art displayed throughout the resort, as well as new pieces from their latest collections.

Through opportunities such as this event, we have raised over $2,000,000 in the past six years. These dollars have gone to the construction and deployment of over 700 structures into the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to the valuable marine habitat, the SWARA reefs have created opportunities for Recreation, Research and much more. There are presently four snorkel reefs and nine near-shore fish / dive reefs deployed off our coast in waters from 12’ - 60’ of depth. Please visit www.swarareefs.org to learn more.
