We are excited and preparing to welcome you back in the Beach Museum of Art! The museum plans to re-open on August 24, 2021. The re-opening is special as the museum celebrates its 25th anniversary during the 2021-2022 season!

“Exploring art with everyone virtually has been really great — and we aim to continue making art adventures available online — but we’ve missed seeing everyone in person. We look forward to seeing you often in the galleries, in the auditorium, in the studio classroom, the Meadow and, when you prefer, online,” – Linda Duke, Beach Museum of Art Director
