The Rollins Museum of Art (RMA) features rotating exhibitions, ongoing programs, and an extensive permanent collection that spans centuries, from examples of ancient art and artifacts to contemporary art. Open to the public year-round, its holdings include the only European Old Master paintings in the Orlando area, a sizeable American art collection, and a forward-thinking contemporary collection

on view both at the museum and The Alfond Inn at Rollins. Located a few blocks from campus, The Alfond Inn is a visionary philanthropic boutique hotel whose proceeds help fund student scholarships. In 1981, the museum became one of Florida’s first college museums to be accredited by the American Association of Museums (currently the American Alliance of Museums) and continues in 2022 as one of only four AAM-accredited museums in greater Orlando. Located on the historic Rollins College campus, the museum offers a high-quality cultural experience in picturesque Winter Park. In addition, part of the museum's world-class collection of contemporary art is always on view at The Alfond Inn, located a few blocks away from campus. Programming is funded in part by Orange County Government through the Arts & Cultural Affairs Program. Additional support comes from members of the Director's Circle and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, The Florida Council on Arts and Culture. Lectures sponsored in part by Rollins College and the Gary Libby Foundation. Support for RMA's educational programming comes from the Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation. Free admission continues in 2022 courtesy of RMA Members. The Rollins Museum of Art is generously funded, in part, by Rollins College.

We are saddened by the news of the passing of British artist David Hockney (1937-2026).

A towering figure in modern art, Hockney’s vibrant works reflect his multifaceted approach to art-making, capturing the light and beauty of the world around him. Throughout his prolific career, Hockney experimented with multiple media—painting, photography, stage design, printmaking, and digital techniques—creating images that explore modern life, the beauty of nature, and the nuanced relationships among subjects.

One of Hockney’s works in the Rollins Museum of Art collection, 🌿 The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, reflects his experimentation with digital tools; the iPad drawing employs the intense colors of his beloved Los Angeles to depict a location near his childhood home. A firm believer in the power of art to change the world, Hockney’s legacy lives on in his works in museums around the world.

Learn more about Hockney’s life and work by visiting The David Hockney Foundation

✨ Meet Mike Cannata, one of six finalists in Pathways 2026: The Carlos Malamud Prize ✨

A contemporary ceramic artist, and painter with a Master of Fine Arts candidate at USF, Mike Cannata creates a sense of “perceived motion” in his sculptures, placing as much importance on the artmaking process as on the finished artwork.

💭 “I work intuitively; time and speed are huge aspects of my work. I intentionally create art rapidly using my entire body to make marks on a sculpture or to move paint across a canvas. Other times, I work slowly, walking around a piece, observing the form, and imagining how it will evolve.”

Cannata received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the New York State School of Ceramics at Alfred University (Alfred, NY) and has participated in residencies at Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center (Denmark), the Morean Center for Clay (Florida), and Red Lodge Clay Center (Montana). He also collaborated with Indiana University to exhibit at the Museum of Nonconformist Art in Russia.

🎨 Visit Pathways 2026: The Carlos Malamud Prize to view works by Mike Cannata and all six finalists.

📍 On view through August at both Rollins Museum of Art and UCF Art Gallery.
