Art collectors, benefactors to present for guild
At its Tuesday, Feb. 12, meeting, the Museum of Arts and Sciences hosted Ormond Beach resident and MOAS Board of Trustees Assistant Vice President CiCi Brown, for her presentation, “Adventures in Collecting Art.”
Along with her husband, Hyatt Brown, the couple began collecting Florida-themed art in 1997. They now have the most extensive collection of Florida-based art anywhere, complete with more than 2,600 oil and watercolor pieces.
The Browns’ collection will be displayed at the museum’s soon-to-be-built Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, 352 S. Nova Road, in Daytona Beach. The 26,000-square-foot building will be built thanks to their $13 million donation.
