Provide membership and
financial support to The Cummer Museum.
- "CELEBRATE The CUMMER," the
signature event for FOCUS Cummer held annually at The Cummer Museum
of Art and Gardens, serves as a special evening of
food and fun with an opportunity to introduce prospective members to
the Museum and all that it offers. Themed to one of the
current exhibitions, guests also have ample time for viewing the permanent collection,
the magnificent gardens and Art Connections, as well as dining and
socializing.
- FOCUS Cummer members give
direct financial support for the museum activities such as:
underwriting exhibitions and children's programs; contributing to
Art Connections and its innovative distance
learning program; and to the restoration of the Diana of the Hunt
statue.
These contributions are made possible through the dues of FOCUS Cummer Sponsor and Patron members.
Provide art education to
the community.
- FOCUS Cummer's principal
community project is FABFest (Future Artists of the Beaches Fest).
FOCUS Cummer partners with The Cummer's Art Connections Education
Staff to provide an unusual and special art education experience for
elementary school students at the Beaches. All artwork is
displayed at Art Connections.
- FOCUS Cummer teams with
other community organizations to offer art education opportunities
such as Ponte Vedra Friends of the Library and The Cultural Center
at Ponte Vedra to offer art education opportunities,
art history lectures and unique art trips to museums in other
communities, which provide a broader context for appreciating both
The Cummer's collections and the world of art.
