Something Borrowed, Something New

April 19–September 27, 2026

Featuring works by such acclaimed modern and contemporary artists as Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A.), Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, David Hockney, KAWS, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Serra, Yoko Ono, Kara Walker, Ai Weiwei, and more, this never-before-seen exhibition offers a rare glimpse into private collections held throughout Southwest Florida. From paintings, prints, and photography to ceramic, bronze, and glass sculpture, Something Borrowed, Something New showcases a diverse range of artworks produced by some of the most prominent artists of our time.
