Thursday, May 27, 2010 through Sunday, Sep 12, 2010
Join The Cummer as we celebrate works of art from private collections across Jacksonville. Porcelain, paintings, and pottery will mingle with sculpture and cultural objects in this diverse exhibition.
The area’s top personal and corporate collectors, including a few you may not know about, will share some of their most prized possessions with our community. Each collector will reveal the significance of the work they selected to be part of the exhibition through quotes and commentary, while photographs by Ingrid Damiani document each collector in their private space.
