COCA Spotlight

Malinda Horton

Executive Dirctor of the Florida Association of Museums

Florida’s earliest museums date back to the 1930s and '40s with the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota and the Norton Gallery of art in West Palm Beach.

Yet, it wasn’t until the 1960s, when a rise in public interest around art galleries and museums gained national traction, that Florida’s museums grew to include today’s treasures like Cummer Gallery of Art in Jacksonville and the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg.


With new facilities came new organizations to run them such as the Florida Association of Museums created in the early 1990s. Their goal is to ensure museums are supported to enhance their ability to serve the public’s best interest. Since its earliest years, current Executive Director, Malinda Horton, has sat at the helm surrounded by translucent Tallahassee tree tops.
