The Museum of Florida Art presents “Behind the Scenes:A Celebration and Passion for Art” on view now through October 30, 2011 in the Lower Main Gallery.

In every art museum there are artists working behind the scenes. Their passion for art is channeled into additional administrative and support rolls at that facility. Starting on Friday, September 9, the Museum of Florida Art will highlight a group of its supporting artists in the Behind the Scenes exhibition. This exhibit celebrates the creative works of artists who are actively engaged in the day to day operation of the Museum of Florida Art. Numerous artistic disciplines are revealed as unexpected and often unknown sides of those frequently associated with museum managerial and support activities.

Featured in this exhibition are: Pam Coffman-Education Curator, David Fithian-Exhibition Coordinator, Tim Gearheart-Gallery Technician, Dan Gunderson-Board Member, Charon Luebbers-Exhibition Committee Member, Fran Massey-Board Member, Diane Moore-Guild President, Carey Wilson-Event Specialist and Anna Tomczak-Exhibition Committee Member. Additional works by members of the Museum of Florida Art Guild will also be on display in the Museum Shop.
