I was pleasantly surprised about this museum. There were some really great works of art and sculptures and the space is beautiful. They also have monthly family events which I intend to check out in the future. I brought my 6 year old daughter with me and although some of the works of art feature nudity, it wasn't a big issue, she giggled a bit but because I'd taken her to several other museums in the past (Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, New Museum of Contemporary art and many others) it wasn't a big deal. This is not a children's museum. However if you are open to exposing your children to the world of art, it's fine. They weren't showing the works of Robert Maplethorpe, no erotic art, just basic stuff you would probably see at any museum that wasn't a "children's museum." If you are in the coral springs area, its worth taking the trip to see.
Coral Springs has managed to create a hidden outpost for culture. This museum offers a series of interesting exhibits of local, regional, national and international artists. The museum offers art courses to the community. This makes for an interesting side-trip in a town known for parks and sports fields.
This place has some of the best artist work the art switched almost every 2 weeks so you can always see something new
The Performance section the Coral Springs Center is poor for seating and sound. This could be the reason why they cannot pull in top production numbers.Shame it is such a nice area.
Opened my eyes to different artists. The garden is quite tranquil as well. They also give military discounts.
Lots of great exhibits and events. Also a great place for art classes for adults and children. The staff is very helpful.
If you want to go to an art museum this place is adorable but honestly, it's too small. You can probably be done with the whole place in less than an hour. If you really want to go to a museum to spend the day you should go to the boca raton art museum at Mizner Park, a beautiful place.
I saw the Clyde Butcher show here in November, just before it closed. This was my first time here, and I must say the museum is a huge open space with plenty of natural light. I really enjoyed both the show (Clyde Butcher is one of my favorites)and the facility. It was quiet the Saturday I visited (right before Thanksgiving). There were a few budding artists doing some sketches, and a couple of other visitors. There is a lovely area that has a plethora of art books on so many subjects. I imagine it would be an art student's/art lover's mecca.(On my way out, I also discovered the theatre there, and bought tickets for the Salute to Vienna show on New Years Eve.)
What a gorgeous building. We were quite taken aback by the size and work at CSMoA. Lots of amenities and a credit to Coral Springs. I thought the judging might have been more descriptive, but a very interesting show.
I arrived at 5 PM, and found out they closed at 5. But the very nice lady at the ticket desk let me in for free, saying I could see it for a few minutes since they weren't closing up right away. It took me exactly 15 minutes to see the whole museum, which is mostly in one big room with a few small alcoves. The artwork is by local contemporary artists from the Coral Springs area. A pleasant and quick diversion. It took almost as long to walk to and from the parking lot, which oddly is a distance from the main entrance.
