The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens will host the eighth annual Summer at the Cummer event series beginning Friday, June 5, from 4 to 8 p.m., and continuing each Friday evening in the month of June. This community-favorite event features free museum admission, live music and activities for the whole family.
Presented by Citi, each week of Summer at the Cummer will feature a different local musician, hands-on art-making fun, playful lawn games and more to ring in the beginning of summer. Community partners such as Jax River City Pride, the River City Readers Bookmobile and MOSH will offer additional activities everyone can enjoy.
During each Summer at the Cummer event, attendees will be able to order food and beverages from the Cummer Café, including beer, wine and cocktails. Food from the café can be enjoyed in the Cummer Gardens, making it a perfect picnic.
“Citi Jacksonville is honored to once again be this year’s presenting sponsor of Summer at the Cummer, which includes free museum admission and fun on Friday evenings,” said Citi Jacksonville Site Head Vickie Behan. “We’re honored to continue supporting the Cummer Museum’s commitment to providing accessible art, gardens and learning experiences for the entire community.”
“We are grateful for Citi’s continued collaboration to bring this fun, free event to our community,” said Kim Noble, the museum’s George W. and Kathleen I. Gibbs Director and Chief Executive Officer. “There’s nothing we love more than opening up the entire museum for all to enjoy! This event is truly a favorite for all of us at the Cummer Museum.”
In addition to outdoor activities, free admission to the museum includes current exhibitions “Art in Bloom,” as well as “Moment in Time: A Legacy of Photographs, Works from the Bank of America Collection.”
