Welcome to The Mennello Museum of American Art. Nearby downtown Orlando, the Museum offers a diverse collection of paintings and sculptures, as well as a beautiful environment to engulf the senses. At the heart of the Museum's showcase is an outstanding permanent collection of paintings by Earl Cunningham (1893-1977). Enriching the Central Florida community through special exhibitions, publications, and programs that celebrate outstanding traditional and contemporary American artists has been an integral part of the Museum's mission since its opening November 22, 1998. The Museum's Cunningham collection was generously donated by collectors Marilyn and Michael Mennello of Winter Park, Florida and is currently owned by the City of Orlando. When visiting, you may be welcomed by Red and Fuzz (click here to find out more about the duo), the museum's resident greeting felines. Both have found their way to hearts of patrons and staff alike.

THE RED CHAIR PROJECT

Each year the Mennello Museum looks forward to participating in the Red Chair Project’s Red Chair Affair 2010. This year, artist Madeleine Mackenzie teamed up with the Museum to create a truly ‘heavenly’ red chair that will be put up for auction to raise money for the Red Chair Project, whose efforts have helped support Central Florida's cultural and arts programs.

The Red Chair Project is a public service designed to increase participation in the Orlando/Central Florida arts and cultural community by building awareness. A nonprofit service, the Red Chair Project strives to increase participation by providing methods to increase ticket sales, increase arts education opportunities and promote arts and cultural philanthropy.

NOW SHOWING

JOHN GRABACH AND HENRY GASSER: TEACHER AND STUDENT
March 28, 2010 – September 1, 2010
This exhibit will explore the relationship of how two artists deriving from the New York School captured the world around them as they saw it. Glorifying the harsh realities of everyday life, gritty urban street scenes and common portrayals of American coastal life, this collection demonstrates a sense of place and feeling that most can identify with.
