Art Museums & Events “


Over the past 50 years the Cummer has become one of the cornerstones of


Jacksonville’s culture and character through the pursuit of art education, community involvement and historic gardens. I believe the people at the Cummer are what make it such a special place. Their commitment to integrating the arts into Jacksonville and encouraging creativity in our community is what separates the organization as one of our nations hallmark art institutions.


– Aaron Deimling Account Director, Harden The First Coast is home to a vast and varied melting pot of artwork. In addition to large galleries that feature international,


national and local artists, Northeast Florida is rich with intimate, privately owned galleries, museums and shops. To sample the richly diverse offerings on the First Coast, visit one of the local monthly art walks. Fernandina Beach, Jacksonville and St. Augustine provide an opportunity for art lovers to enjoy self-guided tours of more than 70 galleries.


Art enthusiasts will delight at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Jacksonville. The museum works in conjunction


with the University of North Florida to bring modern works by the Masters to the community, as well as masterful works by regional artists.


The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, in Jacksonville’s historic Riverside, features world-class art from 2100 B.C.


through the 21st century. The museum’s permanent collection includes masterpieces by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Peter Paul Rubens, Thomas Moran and Norman Rockwell.


No matter what your taste, the First Coast displays art you will appreciate. DUVAL COUNTY

In 1903, Arthur Cummer established his home on the St.


Johns riverfront where the museum now stands. The formal gardens built around the home are worth the trip to the Cummer alone. As the largest fine arts museum in Northeast Florida, the museum contains nearly 5,000 works of art in its permanent collection. The Cummer also offers fun and educational activities for children and families through its Art Adventures and Art for Two events.
