Polk Public Museum
1985

The Tropicana All Florida Members Biennial Exhibit was a statewide art exhibition held at the Polk Museum of Art, which was then often called the Polk Public Museum. It was sponsored by Tropicana Products and was created to highlight artists living and working across Florida.

The biennial was a large, juried exhibition that brought together Florida artists and gave them a platform to show their work every two years. It included a wide range of art forms such as painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and mixed media.
