SUMMARY:Thomas D. Mangelsen
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Art – DeLand is proud to present Thomas D. Mangelsen – A Life in the Wild. Renowned American nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen has traveled throughout the natural world for nearly 50 years observing and photographing the Earth’s last great wild places. From polar bears in the Arctic to vast herds of game on the plains of Africa\, from the deep jungles of South America to the tigers of India\, to images revealing the diversity of wildlife in the American West\, Mangelsen has captured rare moments and vast panoramas from all seven continents. \n\nThomas D. Mangelsen\, Dreamcatcher\, 2000\nMangelsen is a critically-acclaimed photographer whose honors include being named Conservation Photographer of the Year by Nature’s Best Photography\, the BBC’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year\, the Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year by North American Nature Photography Association\, one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography by American Photo magazine and one of the 40 Most Influential Nature Photographers by Outdoor Photography. His award-winning photographs have been exhibited in major museums including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and collected by thousands around the world through his MANGELSEN®—Images of Nature Galleries. He has been praised by  many as a spiritual descendant of Ansel Adams\, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston. \nAfter spending nearly 50 years of traveling to the wildest corners of North America and beyond\, Mangelsen has become legendary for producing a body of work that includes truly awe-inspiring landscapes and some of the most recognizable wildlife scenes ever photographed\, including many counted among the most important of the modern environmental age. Like those of Adams\, Porter and Weston before him\, his photographs are coveted by collectors worldwide. \nJane Goodall and Bill Allen\, the now retired editor in chief of National Geographic\, consider Mangelsen to be one of the most important nature photographers of his generation. “His photographs have impact that stays with you\,” Allen says. “They allow viewers to momentarily escape from their busy lives and dwell inside big humbling landscapes. Rather than being mere documentarian in their purpose\, they also reveal personalities of wild\, sometimes imperiled animals\, reminding us that they are creatures of remarkable sentience.” \nThomas D. Mangelsen\, Rainwalk\, 2002\n  \nABOUT A LIFE IN THE WILD: \nA LIFE IN THE WILD is an exhibition containing 40 of Mangelsen’s most resonant images—images that take viewers on a journey into the haunts of iconic species whose struggles for survival are metaphorical fulcrums for reflection in the 21st century. \nIn an age of rampant digital manipulation of imagery and an era in which many nature photographers take shortcuts to amass portfolios by frequenting “game farms”—facilities that rent out wildlife “models” by the hour—Mangelsen’s work stands as a striking and noble counterpoint\, Allen says. Every single image in Mangelsen’s portfolio has been taken in the wild under natural conditions; the result of him waiting for the “picture perfect moment” across decades and often in hostile conditions. Such a body of work can only be achieved by having a heightened sense of animal behavior\, an uncanny feel for being able to read changing atmospherics in the environment\, and patience. \nAt a time when digital technology is\, notoriously\, reprogramming its users to have shorter attention spans\, A LIFE IN THE WILD stands as a testament to the rewards that can come to people who slow down their lives and wait for nature’s revelations to happen. \nA LIFE IN THE WILD showcases Mangelsen’s signature\, award-winning photographs of landscape and wildlife in all seven continents. “Polar Dance”\, for example\, is a whimsical portrait of polar bears appearing to prance in the Arctic that National Geographic called one of the most important of our time for getting viewers to ponder the consequences of climate change. \nThe exhibition includes Mangelsen’s “Catch of the Day”\, one of the most widely circulated wildlife photographs in history\, showing the exact moment that a spawning salmon\, trying to leap over a small waterfall along Alaska’s Brooks River\, soars right into the awaiting jaws of a massive brown bear. “Catch of the Day” was not only a monumental achievement in photography because it occurred before the advent of digital cameras and involves no digital manipulation\, but also because thousands of photographers have attempted to emulate it. Like all of the photographs in the exhibition\, it sparks conversation. \n\n\nEXHIBITION DETAILS \nThomas D.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Water
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Art – DeLand is proud to partner with Stetson University’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience (IWER) to host an Earth Day panel and art installation\, Reflections on Water: An Artistic and Scientific Dialogue. The night will be underscored by a breathtaking\, immersive video projection by artist Luciana Abait. “The Glass Wall\,” will displayed on the outside of the front wall of the Aquatic Center building. \nThe panel consists of Martha Underriner of the Museum of Art – DeLand as moderator\, artist Luciana Abait\, Dr. Jason Evans of the Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience\,  Stephanie Liskey of Sailforth Productions\, and Brenda Wells of the Florida Springs Council. \n \nLuciana Abait is a multi-media artist\, originally from Argentina. Her work focuses on climate change\, environmental fragility\, and their impact on immigrants. Her work\, “The Glass Wall” draws attention to the global water crisis\, representing the abilities and limits of humanity’s power to control nature. The installation awakens viewers to the threat of natural disasters\, the importance of water conservation\, but also “the hope that humans can overcome the challenges of climate change and create a sustainable future.” \nLuciana’s work is global in nature\, and the panel’s goal will be to localize the conversation to Florida water concerns and the science and communication surrounding those concerns. \nEVENT DETAILS \nReflections on Water: An Artistic & Scientific Dialogue \nTuesday\, April 22\, 2025  |  6:30 – 8:45 p.m. \n Sandra Stetson Aquatic Center  \n2636 Alhambra Ave.\, DeLand\, Florida 32720 \nPanel Discussion 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. \n Video on Display until 8:45 p.m. \nAdmission: FREE & Open to the Public \n  \nImage: From The Glass Wall by Luciana Abait

Our 6-week summer camp program will be available for 6-12 year olds from June 9th – July 25th. \nThis summer our Campers will explore all of the art filled adventures that they can dream of! Each week a new theme will ignite their creativity and imaginations. Campers will be inspired to create 2D and 3D projects and will enjoy a wide variety of age appropriate hands-on art experiences\, excitement\, and fun! Campers will have two sessions each day and work on multiple art projects each week. We take breaks throughout the day for snacks\, lunch\, and games. We invite our Campers to bring their imaginations\, create memories to last a lifetime\, and discover the adventures that are waiting for you when you make art!  \nThe themes change each week so Campers may register for more than one session. Children will be placed in small groups to ensure that they receive personalized attention. No previous art-making experience necessary!  Visits to the Museum’s galleries will enhance the educational experience and provide additional motivation and inspiration. \nCamp Create 2025 Schedule\nWeek #1 Pop Art Palooza Week\n \nJune 9th-13th              \nJoin us for a week full of vivacious color where students can make art that pops and boldly express their creativity!

SUMMARY:Gary Lichtenstein
DESCRIPTION:Gary Lichtenstein is a visionary force in both abstract painting and silkscreen printmaking\, known for his bold use of color and fearless experimentation across media. With a body of work spanning over 200 oil-based paintings\, Lichtenstein demonstrates true abstract expressionism through the properties of light absorption and reflection\, specifically with regard to the visual impact of color. \nEqually influential is his legacy in silkscreen printing. Over the course of a 45-year career\, Lichtenstein has collaborated with more than 100 artists\, producing a wide array of editions and multiples that celebrate the medium’s expressive potential. Early inspiration came from legendary rock & roll poster artist Bob Fried\, whose psychedelic prints for bands like Pink Floyd\, The Grateful Dead\, Santana\, Genesis\, and Steppenwolf expanded the boundaries of screen printing. Together\, Fried and Lichtenstein dove into what was\, at the time\, relatively new territory: embracing the unique method of painting through silk. \nEach project that emerges from Lichtenstein’s studio—whether his own or a collaboration—tells a story rooted in experimentation\, color\, and process. This comprehensive exhibition showcases the limitless possibilities of silkscreen\, featuring works by notable artists including Cey Adams\, Al Diaz\, Futura\, Charles Hinman\, Robert Indiana\, Robert Scott\, Jessica Stockholder\, Vincent Valdez\, and more. \nLichtenstein’s works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York)\, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Art Institute of Chicago\, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum\, and the Butler Institute of American Art. The Bob Fried print archive is represented in the collections of MoMA\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, and SFMOMA. \nEXHIBITION DETAILS \nGary Lichtenstein: Painter & Master Printer \nNovember 15\, 2025 – January 11\, 2026 \nMuseum of Art – DeLand \n100 N.

SUMMARY:The Florida Highwaymen
DESCRIPTION:At a time of profound social and economic change\, the Florida Highwaymen dared to navigate the American Dream. \nThe Florida Highwaymen were 26 self-taught African American artists who began painting in the 1950s and 60s\, capturing Florida’s landscapes in bold color. They sold their paintings along highways and door-to-door\, creating a legacy of creativity and perseverance that helped define Florida’s visual identity. Their depictions of royal poinciana trees\, marshes\, and coastal sunsets not only document Florida’s natural splendor but also stand as a testament to the artists’ determination and spirit in a period of profound social change. \nThis exhibition\, drawn from the esteemed Walker Collection\, is a rare opportunity to view works by all 26 recognized Highwaymen together. The Walker Collection represents one of the most comprehensive private holdings of Highwaymen paintings in the world. Assembled with care and vision\, the exhibition honors each artist’s contribution and preserves the spirit of this remarkable movement in Florida’s art history. \nEXHIBITION DETAILS \nThe Florida Highwaymen: Selections from the Walker Collection  \nJanuary 25 – March 29\, 2026 \nMuseum of Art DeLand  |  100 N.
