Come visit our newest and upcoming exhibitions!

When We Were Young 

Children and Animals in Art from the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples 

On view through January 30, 2022

Featuring more than 50 works in various media on the theme of children and animals in American figurative art, this original exhibition promises to delight the child in all of us. When We Were Young focuses on two of the most timeless and limitlessly explorable motifs in art — children and animals — both popular subjects of art history for as long as art has been produced. The exhibition features nearly the entire art collection of the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples (CMON) and takes the importance of visual literacy as its jumping-off point to engage learners of all ages.

Finding Meaning Within

The Photography of John Pinderhughes 

On view November 20, 2021 - February 24, 2022
 

A star of the New York art world, John Pinderhughes (b. 1946) has established himself over the past half-century as the ultimate observer and narrator of the communities all around him. This Fall, the Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College presents an original, extraordinary retrospective exhibition, years in the making, showcasing Pinderhughes’ broad reportorial eye and his ability to find meaning and value in everything — and every person — he photographs. Through Pinderhughes’ powerful camera lens, he makes clear that every human subject and every still life object has a story worth telling.
