The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens Invites the Community to Shop with Purpose this Holiday Season

Two festive events offer art-inspired gifts at the Cummer Shop

 

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is celebrating the season of giving with two special shopping experiences designed to delight visitors and support the Museum’s ongoing mission. Shoppers can find meaningful, art-inspired gifts during Museum Store Sunday on November 30 and the elegant Champagne & Shopping event on December 4 and 5. Both events will be at the Cummer Shop, located inside the Cummer Museum in Riverside.

 

According to Susan Tudor, Director of Retail & Visitor Experience at the Cummer Museum of Arts & Gardens, “Each item in the Cummer Shop tells a story; of the artists who create, of the museum that inspires, and of the community that supports both. Shopping here during the holidays turns every purchase into an act of connection and support for Jacksonville’s vibrant cultural scene.”

 

Museum Store Sunday: Sunday, November 30

Part of a global celebration of museum stores, Museum Store Sunday invites guests to “Shop with Purpose” while discovering unique, artful gifts that give back.
