After almost ten years as the director of the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, Maarten van de Guchte is moving on. While director he has seen the museum grow in size and membership, including the aquistion of many notable pieces of artwork as well as the Women’s Club of Jacksonville on Riverside Avenue. The Cummer is now by size firmly in the top five art museums in the State of Florida. And it is the second most visited art museum in Florida.Hope McMath will serve as interim director while the museum conducts a national search for a replacement. Best wishes to both of them.
And thank you Maarten, for all you have done to bring an increased cultural awareness to the District.
