Director’s Message

This summer, we are thrilled to present an extraordinary exhibition of local talent: Treasure Coast Creates: A Tribute to Local Artists, which features over 130 works of art created in our community. Over 800 works were submitted to this juried competition, a reflection of our extraordinarily creative community. Complementing this is a small, exquisite exhibition of works by Jack Tworkov, revealing his evolution from representational to abstract art on view in the Stark Gallery. 

These exhibitions follow one of the most dynamic periods in the Museum’s history. The Rolling Sculpture: Streamlined Art Deco Automobiles and Motorcycles exhibition shattered our previous attendance records with (over) 30,000 visitors. We capped off the season with another great show, the Congressional Art Exhibition with Congressman Bill Posey, held during the Children’s Art Festival, the last weekend for Rolling Sculpture – quite a day! This is the eighth year we have hosted the Congressional Art Exhibition, and we are honored to be able to display these fantastic student artworks in Holmes Great Hall.

We are looking forward to a vital summer with a full array of Art School classes, including painting, art appreciation, tai chi, and a fully subscribed Summer Art Camp. Registration is open for all summer classes on the Museum website.

Looking forward to the season ahead, we will present a major retrospective of the work of M.C. Escher, one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th century. This will be followed by Ancient Egypt & the Napoleonic Era: Masterworks from the Dahesh Museum of Art, a beautiful and fascinating exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and illustrated books. These themes will be explored with a great line-up of speakers in the 2024 International Lecture Series, with advance tickets now available.

We look forward to seeing you at the Museum soon!
