The Vero Beach Museum of Art is the fulfillment of the combined efforts of two community-based arts groups: the Vero Beach Art Club, a nonprofit organization established in 1936; and the Alliance for the Arts, a separate nonprofit established in 1978 solely to create a regional Museum for the appreciation and teaching of the arts and humanities. The partnership raised $2.5 million from local private sources. The Vero Beach Museum of Art opened its doors to the public debt-free on January 31, 1986.
The Museum is the principal visual arts facility in a region of more than 800,000 residents and millions of tourists. The Museum’s neoclassical structure commands a premiere position in the 54 acre Riverside Park, along the scenic Indian River and serves more than 75,000 residents and visitors annually through exhibitions, collections, gallery tours, studio and classroom art and humanities education for youth and adults, cinema, community events, lectures, seminars, concerts, dramatic performances, special youth events and cultural celebrations. It is applauded as the cultural and recreational heart of the community.
