The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens partnered with Jacksonville Arts & Music School during the 2021-2022 school year. JAMS’ visual art students of House Savage wrote, illustrated, and designed a StoryWalk set in the Museum Gardens. A StoryWalk is a fun, educational activity that places a story along a popular walking route in your community.
The Book of Lost Magic was written and illustrated by the students of House Savage, the visual arts department of Jacksonville Arts & Music School (JAMS). Please support the students and the Cummer Museum by purchasing a copy of The Book of Lost Magic in the Cummer Shop today!
