Founded and designed in 1937 by the Architect and Artist, Jules Andre Smith, this little museum was originally intended as an art colony for local artists. Over the years the museum has been home to many traveling exhibits as well as significant permanent collections. The museum still continues with resident artists, associated with the Artists-in-Action program and offers many opportunities for community classes.
The architecture of the multiple buildings is an art form of it's own. Designed and partially carved by the center's founder, the unique architecture features Mayan and Aztec designs intermingled with beautiful gardens and courtyards. An ideal spot for weddings and special events, the Maitland Art Center (formerly The Research Studio) was recognized as a historic site by the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and included in the Historic American Buildings Survey.
