- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 06 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The Florida landscape has provided aesthetic inspiration to artists for centuries. Titian Ramsay Peale and John James Audubon came in search of native flora and fauna, followed by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Martin Johnson Heade, George Inness, Winslow Homer, and Henry Ossawa Tanner, who were lured by its natural beauty and warm climate. This presentation offers a succinct and engaging history of Florida’s landscape painters from John James Audubon to the Florida Highwaymen. Join speaker Dr. Keri Watson and learn about the art movements behind the Beaches Museum’s beloved Bachus painting and other pieces in collections, which will be on display in the lobby for a limited show.

The Boardwalk Talk is free to Museum members with a $5 donation suggested for non-members. Because seating space is limited, registration is required. Use the code MEMBER at checkout for free access.

She is the author of This is America: Re-Viewing the Art of the United States (2023) and editor of the Routledge Companion to Art and Disability (2022).
