An Expanding Vision of Public Art

ALINA’s partnership with the Boca Raton Museum of Art has flourished since its inception in 2021, when sculptures by Larry Mohr (cXc XXII) and Guy Dill (Key Angel) first transformed Mizner Boulevard’s streetscape. Erdman’s recent additions at ALINA 220 continue this thoughtful integration of fine art into daily life, enriching the city's cultural tapestry.
