The Lightner Museum invites St. Johns County residents and Lightner Museum Members to a Community Open House celebrating the opening of our new exhibition, American Scenery and Souvenirs: Transferware by Paul Scott.
A Lightner Museum Members-only preview will begin at 5:30 p.m. The doors will open to the general public beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Wine will be available for donation. Enjoy live music by Raisin Cake Orchestra. Visitors should arrive through the Radzinski Garden located at the rear of the Lightner Museum building. This is a free community event.
American Scenery and Souvenirs: Transferware by Paul Scott features the work of contemporary artist Paul Scott, who uses traditional designs associated with mass produced domestic tableware and alters them to comment on modern society. The exhibition presents Scott’s plates, platters, and jugs alongside vintage ceramics from the Lightner Museum's collection.
In addition to American Scenery and Souvenirs, visitors can explore the following exhibitions, The Gilded Age: Treasures from the Lightner Museum, American Stories: Paintings and Sculpture from the Lightner Museum, Laura Mongiovi: Empire, and Riding High: Vintage Bicycles from the Keith Pariani Collection.
American Scenery and Souvenirs: Transferware by Paul Scott is presented at the Lightner Museum by the Community Foundation for Northeast Florida. Additional support comes from the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council and the St. Johns Cultural Council.
