FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q:
What kind of art does the Museum exhibit?
A.
The
Museum specializes in contemporary art from the Southeastern United States. By contemporary art,
the Museum means the artwork of our time. It does not necessarily mean abstract art. Contemporary art is
a blanket term and could mean a range of styles from photorealism to surrealism to abstract expressionism.
Q: How did the Museum come to specialize in contemporary
regional art?
A: The Lake Eustis Museum of Art strives to provide excellence in the field of Fine
Art. In order for the Museum to fulfill this goal, it needed to take into account its own resources and what other organizations
were already offering. We wanted to be able to offer the Central Florida community a special experience
while establishing a unique artistic identity for the region.
Q: May I touch the artwork in the Museum?
A: No, unless it is labeled
otherwise, the artwork in the Museum can't be touched by visitors. Touching can damage the artwork in a variety of ways:
the oils in human skin are damaging to certain materials; dirt and oil on hands can make a work of art dirty; and rubbing
or bumping a piece of art can jar and possibly break it.
Q: Can I
take photographs in the Museum?
A: No. Photography is not allowed in the Museum unless it has been specifically
authorized. Flash photography could potentially damage the art.
Q: Can you appraise my
collection?
A:
No,
the Museum is not able to appraise items or collections.
