The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, in partnership with The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, presents a retrospective exhibition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Art Ventures Fund. Thirty artists have been selected to include one work — one for each year of Art Ventures grantmaking. Art Ventures is an endowed fund at The Community Foundation, launched in 1990 through a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts that was matched by generous local donors. The fund makes grants annually to individual artists and small arts organizations so recipients can explore or refine the next level of their craft, with more than $1.3 million invested since its inception.
