The Center is the only one of its kind
in Jacksonville and only one of a very
few in the state of Florida. Its
consultant is a Duval County certified
art teacher with a background in art
history.
The Center makes these reproductions
available on a check out basis by

provides training to volunteers who
wish to take reproductions into the
classroom setting.
