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>>

We will explore a variety of techniques designed to help you blend colors seamlessly\, create stunning contrasts of light and shadow\, and master the art of soft reflections on a serene lake. With each stroke of your brush\, you’ll not only bring the picturesque landscape to life but also deepen your understanding of watercolor as a medium. \nWe’ll begin with a light sketch of shapes to set up the drawing\, use masking fluid to block out white spaces\, and then work on layering paint to create our landscape. This class caters to everyone—from curious beginners who have never picked up a brush to seasoned artists looking to refine their skills. You will leave with a beautiful piece of art that embodies the spirit of fall\, along with newfound techniques that will inspire your future creations.
