Coral Gables Museum: The Life and Art of Denman Fink

Wednesday, May 31st from 6-8pm join the Coral Gables Museum’s Board of Directors for refreshments and a sneak preview of the museum’s newest exhibit, ‘The Life and Art of Denman Fink‘. Coral Gables’ most important artist is recognized and celebrated in this career retrospective curated by exhibit coordinator Eliza Gonzalez in consultation with historian and author Arva Moore Parks. Denman Fink, the uncle of City founder George Merrick and first Artistic Advisor to the 1920’s planned community of Coral Gables, enjoyed national success as an artist and left his artistic imprint throughout the city of Coral Gables. Merrick frequently said that his uncle Denman Fink was the one who influenced him the most in his creation of Coral Gables. Evidence of Fink’s artistic input can be felt in the City’s early entrances, plazas, and spring-fed Venetian Pool. Visitors will have the opportunity to see original sketches, magazine illustrations, paintings, and architectural renderings by the most influential artist in the making of Coral Gables.  Exhibition is on view through September 24, 2017.

Free for Museum members. $20 for non-members.
