OUR MISSION

At the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, we have a mission. For 26 years, we've provided gallery space for artists of African descent, right in the heart of the community. . The museum is the only place within 400 miles that showcases the work of artists from the continent and/or the Diaspora. This dream was started by Eatonville Community, Inc. who gave a voice to these artists; we strive to continue and expand upon that legacy.

Achievements

Since our inception, we've
attracted thousands of
visitors.

Once here, they have a rare opportunity to view the works of outstanding African American artists. We've presented nearly fifty exhibitions since 1990.

Exhibitions

ur exhibition season begins each September and ends in August.

Shows usually last between three and four months.

For each exhibition, we hold an opening reception and a gallery talk presented by the artists, guest scholars, or a curator. These events are free of charge and open to the public.

There is no set admission fee for visitors, but donations are greatly appreciated.(Group tours, however, do require a reservation and a small fee.)

Partners, Grants, and Support!

To provide shows of this caliber, we works closely with the Orlando Museum of Art, the Cornell Museum of Fine Arts, and other art institutions. The National Endowment of the Arts awarded the museum with funding for our 2006-2007 exhibitions. The museum recently became the recipient of a Conservation Assessment Program grant, that will be used for an exciting new museum development.
