New Exhibitions Highlight Boca Museum Of Art’s Season

Major new exhibitions are launching the Boca Raton
Museum of Art’s new season: three new shows debuted
on Oct. 7, and three more will open on Jan. 26, 2021. The
museum welcomes visitors back with beautifully designed
new architectural renovations to the entrance lobby, front
desk, and the dazzling new Wolgin Education Center.
During the earlier months of sheltering-in-place
because of the pandemic, the museum’s education team
was heralded for providing innovative new online art
initiatives for children at home, and for people of all ages.
These efforts shine the global spotlight on the community,
reminding people all over the world that South Florida,
even in the face of the pandemic, is a cultural destination
to be reckoned with. The museum re-opened on June 3,
providing a safe haven with the kind of respite that only
art can sustain. Two of the shows that were extended
beyond the quarantine will continue until Jan.3: Edward

founding member of the Fluxus art movement (the only
Black member of Fluxus). His wry presidential portraits
strike a curious chord during the present-day election
cycle. He juxtaposes the presidents that served during
his lifetime (1935 to 2009, from Roosevelt to Obama)
in typical Fluxus fashion: exposing the convergence of
their circumstances and the decisions they each made Paid Advertisement
