For this year’s Nights of Lights “Art and History” Exhibition, the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum — in partnership with the St. Augustine Art Association — invites artists to celebrate the Semi-quincentennial (250th) of the American Revolution.

Though Florida did not formally participate in the War for Independence, the people, cultures, and events here had a profound influence on the outcome of the war and the founding of the United States. This exhibit brings those often-overlooked stories to light — through art.

Artists may design and submit one (1) creative fireplace mantel display that can be used universally across the mantel spaces in the theme of Flights to Freedom — Florida During the American Revolution.
