Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens receive more awards in 2017

Despite the devastation from Hurricane Irma, the Cummer Museum of Arts & Gardens is honored to announce that it has received two awards in the 2017 Museums Publications Design Competition of the American Alliance of Museums.  The Museum received Second Prize in the Annual Report category, as well as an Honorable Mention in the Book category for “The Chef’s Canvas."

The
 Museum’s annual report is a collection of stories and descriptions of events, exhibitions, and programs hosted by the Museum over the past year.  It highlights the accomplishments and the impact of the Museum on the community, from exhibitions such as LIFT: Contemporary Expressions of the African American Experience to education programs like Cummer in the Classroom. The Museum utilizes the report as an opportunity for transparency and to spotlight the outcomes of the work it does for its constituents.  The annual report was designed by Wingard Creative and printed by Agility Press, Inc. Photography for the report was done by local photographers Ingrid Damiani and Dennis Ho.

The Chef’s Canvas is a beautifully-designed coffee table cookbook celebrating the Museum’s diverse collection of art and the abundant talent of local chefs.  Each dish was inspired by a work of art each chef selected from the Museum’s collection.  The artwork chosen spans a wide range of artistic styles, and the paired food dishes are just as beautifully diverse.  Each recipe includes a statement from the chef about the inspiration for their dish, the work of art chosen, and a beautiful image of the finished dish.  The book is a way of connecting the art and culinary worlds of Northeast Florida in a unique and compelling way.  “The Chef’s Canvas” project was managed by Cari Sanchez-Potter and Emily Moody, designed by Varick Rosete, photographed by Agnes Lopez, and printed by The Hartley Press.
