Mission Statement
The Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College is a teaching museum that enhances lives through inspirational and engaging art experiences for all.  

Vision Statement
The Polk Museum of Art and Florida Southern College will collaboratively create and sustain one of the nation’s leading academic fine art museums.

Our Impact
Our permanent collection has grown to more than 2,500 works of art, including works by Rembrandt van Rijn, Andy Warhol, Faith Ringgold, Pablo Picasso, Miriam Shapiro, James Rosenquist, Barbara Kruger, Marc Chagall, Damien Hirst, Hung Liu and others.
We now house and display year-round themed exhibitions of Florida Southern College's museum collection of American figurative art, made possible by FSC Alumnus J. William Meek, III.

The Museum's economic impact in Lakeland alone has been calculated at more than 12.5 million dollars.
We tour 5,000 fourth grade students and host 9 K-12 Student Art exhibitions annually.

The Polk Museum of Art's MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake was named the 20th best art festival in the nation by the prestigious Sunshine Artist Magazine.

Approximately 140,000 visitors come to the Museum annually to learn through works of art from across time and place.
