SUMMARY:Camp Create 2025
DESCRIPTION:Camp Create at the Museum of Art – DeLand is back for Summer 2025! 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! Inspired by iconic pop artists like Andy Warhol\, Idelle Weber\, and Roy Lichtenstein\, students will create eye-catching artwork that experiment with repeating patterns\, unique color combinations\, and various graphic styles. \nWeek #2 Glow Week\n \nJune 16th-20th\n \nIlluminate any dim space with art that glows! Students will experience a week filled with black lights\, glow in the dark paint\, and lively colors. Black light disco balls\, luminous lava lamps\, glowing galaxies\, and neon tie-dye shirts are just some of the many mesmerizing projects they will create this week. \nWeek#3 3D Art Week\n \nJune 23rd-27th\n \nJump out of the 2-dimensional page and carve\, sculpt\, and mold works of\nart that have depth. This week\, students will experience hands-on how 3-dimensional art forms fill space\, and interact with light\, shadow\, and perspective. Campers will be using air dry clay\, carving tools\, and papier-mâché to make projects such as relief sculptures\, assemblages\, and interactive pieces such as customized building sets. The work of sculptural artists like Alexander Calder\, Yayoi Kusama\, and Ruth Asawa will be referenced for inspiration. \nWeek #4 Palette & Pencil Week\n \nJuly 7th-11th\n \nThroughout Palette & Pencil Week students will be immersed in a variety of painting and drawing techniques and styles! From sketching with pencil and charcoal to painting with watercolor and acrylics\, they will learn foundational skills like shading\, blending\, and perspective while exploring their own artistic voice. Students will draw inspiration from artists like M.C Escher\, Charly Palmer\, and Vija Celmins to create their artwork. \nWeek #5 Comic Craze Week\n \nJuly 14th-18th\n \nComic Craze is an exciting\, imagination-driven week where campers become comic artists and storytellers. Students will learn the basics of comic creation\, focusing on many aspects of comic art such as: speech bubbles\, character design\, art styles (classic comic strips and manga)\, visual storytelling techniques\, panel layouts\, and dynamic action scenes. By the end of the week\, students will have their own thrilling mini-comic or graphic story to share! \nWeek #6 Urban Expressions Week\n \nJuly 21st-25th\n \nDream big and imagine your art on big city walls this week!

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.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Taylor Robenalt
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Taylor Robenalt for an engaging conversation exploring the narratives\, symbolism\, and material processes behind her intricate porcelain sculptures. Drawing from the long human tradition of storytelling\, Robenalt creates works that intertwine figures\, flora\, and fauna to reflect on personal experience\, animal behavior\, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world. \nThrough layered symbolism and carefully constructed forms\, her work bridges ceramics and sculpture\, expanding how we understand both disciplines while inviting viewers into stories of transformation and connection. Working primarily in porcelain\, Robenalt embraces the material’s delicate\, skin-like qualities to heighten the emotional resonance of her imagery\, where animals\, flowers\, and human forms become metaphors for loyalty\, freedom\, renewal\, and the cyclical nature of life. \nA professor at Ringling College of Art and Design\, Robenalt creates work that is visually accessible yet deeply reflective\, encouraging intuitive engagement and personal interpretation. This artist talk offers insight into her creative process and explores how storytelling through clay can connect individual experience to broader contemporary conversations about identity\, change\, and shared human experience. \nPlease note: Our galleries will not open early for this event due to a special event beforehand. \nAdmission: Free for Museum Members  |  $10 for Future Members
