History

Since 1991, the Vero Beach Museum of Art has been recognized by the State of Florida and the Florida Arts Council as a significant cultural establishment through grant awards and support. The Museum was awarded accreditation from the American Association of Museums in April 1997. It became recognized for its professionalism, quality of programming, exhibitions, and community outreach.

In 2002, the Museum’s Board of Trustees voted to change the institution’s name from the Center for the Arts to the Vero Beach Museum of Art, which went into effect on July 1, 2002.

In February 2007, the Museum added the Alice and Jim Beckwith Sculpture Park, which is 1.12 acres, to its exhibition spaces.citation | title= The Vero Beach Museum of Art: About | publisher=ARTINFO | year=2008 | url= http://www.artinfo.com/galleryguide/19841/6382/about/vero-beach-museum-of-art-vero-beach/| accessdate=2008-07-07 ]
