SUMMARY:Maitland's Attic: A Journey Through A Small City's Past
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis exhibition is an interactive\, hands-on exploration into the history of Maitland and its surrounding areas! \n\nThere were a lot of things that did not happen in Maitland. There were no great battles fought on the soil\, nor was it home to any infamous individuals. The town was not the epicenter of any great social movements\, nor was it home to discoveries that would better humankind. Maitland was\, and continues to be\, a small town\, like so many others.\n\nThe story of Maitland is a story of seemingly ordinary people who lived through extraordinary times\, a place where people made their homes while dramatic events unfolded in other parts of the world. People labored here\, raised their families\, loved\, lost\, thought\, and created. The objects in the museum’s collection reflect the brightness of these lives against the backdrop of a changing and often troubled world.\n\n\nEach artifact tells a story specific to a place and time. They are the carriers of the memories of the people who owned them\, who felt that they were important enough to their own story to preserve them. Many of them are the prototypes of the objects that we use and hold dear today\, objects which will one day carry our own memories forward.\nWelcome to Maitland’s Attic\, a gathering place of the unique items that tell of Maitland’s past. From the everyday to the downright weird\, these objects and their stories open a window onto important moments throughout the history of the town\, and the people who called it home.\n\n\n\n¡Esta exhibición es interactivo y de primera mano adentro de la historia de Maitland y las áreas cercanas! \nEn Maitland no ocurrieron muchas cosas. En su suelo no se libraron grandes batallas\, ni fue cuna deindividuos infames. No fue el epicentro de grandes movimientos sociales ni de descubrimientosrevolucionarios. \nLa historia de Maitland es la historia de personas aparentemente corrientes que vivieron tiemposextraordinarios\, un lugar donde la gente estableció su hogar mientras se desarrollaban acontecimientosdramáticos en otras partes del mundo. La gente trabajaba aquí\, criaba a sus familias\, amaba\, perdía\,pensaba y creaba. Los objetos de la colección del museo reflejan el brillo de estas vidas en el contextode un mundo cambiante y a menudo turbulento. \nCada artefacto cuenta una historia específica de un lugar y una época. En conjunto\, son portadores delos recuerdos de las personas que los poseyeron\, que consideraron que eran lo bastante importantespara su historia como para conservarlos. Muchos de ellos son prototipos de los objetos que usamos yapreciamos hoy\, objetos que un día serán portadores de nuestros propios recuerdos.Bienvenido a Maitland’s Attic\, un lugar donde se reúnen objetos únicos que hablan del pasado deMaitland. Desde los más cotidianos hasta los más extraños\, estos objetos abren una ventana amomentos importantes de la historia de la ciudad y a las personas que decidieron llamarla su hogar.

SUMMARY:A Return to Espero
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception on July 25\, 2025 from 6:30-9pm: Meet the curator\, enjoy live music by Shine\, food truck\, and a cash bar all just 15 minutes from downtown Orlando on our beautiful National Historic Landmark campus. Thank you to Red Bud Landscaping for sponsoring this exhibition opening! GET YOUR FREE TICKETS HERE >> \n  \nAbout the Exhibition \nFor nearly a century\, the story of the Maitland Art Center’s founding seemed complete. \nThen\, the letters surfaced. \nRecently discovered in the archives of the Curtis Institute of Music\, an extraordinary trove of correspondence between artist J. André Smith and philanthropist Mary Curtis Bok reveals a deeper\, more compelling origin\, born of a powerful creative alliance and a shared vision for what Central Florida’s art community could become. Illustrated by Smith and brimming with artistic and philosophical exchange\, these letters illuminate the origin of the Research Studio as never before. Paired with rarely seen works from Smith’s evolving career\, A Return to Espero reframes the birth of the site as a profound creative partnership. \nPlan your visit >> \nThis exhibition is generously supported by a grant from the Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation

SUMMARY:Stories in Stone: A Walking Tour of the Maitland Art Center
DESCRIPTION:Step behind the gates of the Maitland Art Center and into a world shaped by vision\, imagination\, and legacy.\nThis one-hour guided tour takes you through the gardens and courtyards of a campus like no other—founded in the 1930s by American artist and architect J. André Smith as a haven for modern experimentation and creative freedom. \nClick here to reserve your tickets>>\nExperience the Tour\nAs your guide leads you through the campus\, you’ll trace the story of Smith’s life—from his childhood in Hong Kong to his service in World War I to the founding of the Maitland Art Center\, which he called “Espero\,” a Spanish word for hope. These experiences—and his Episcopal faith—influenced the extraordinary design of the campus: a blend of Mayan Revival architecture with embedded Christian symbolism and East Asian motifs. The result is a surreal\, immersive environment—at once spiritual\, exotic\, and modern—where over 2\,500 carvings\, sculptures\, and reliefs adorn nearly every surface. \nAlong the way\, you’ll learn about the community of artists who lived and worked here between the 1930s and 1950s—names like Milton Avery\, Ralston Crawford\, and Doris Lee—and how this hidden Florida enclave became one of the state’s most forward-thinking creative centers. \n\nIncluded with the Tour\n\nMaitland Art Center Gallery\nMaitland History Museum\nTelephone Museum\n\nTickets\n\n$4-$6 (includes 3 museums & grounds)\nFree for members\nSuitable for all ages; reccomended for ages 13+\n\nClick here to reserve your tickets>>
