We mourn the passing of Janet E, Tanis from the Hibel Museum of Art. Janet worked closely with Andrew Plotkin, Trustee of the Edna Hibel Art Foundation and other staff from Hibel companies for many years and we honor her memory. Obituary. Former Museum Director, Mary Johnson has relocated to Pennsylvania near family. She frequently speaks to local organizations about Edna Hibel and the museum.
The Hibel Museum of Art was opened in Palm Beach in 1977 with the Clayton and Ethelbelle Bion Craig collection of Edna Hibel paintings (180) and original stone lithographs (200) and personal antiques, paperweights, Asian artifacts and furniture from the Craig household. Shortly afterwards a wonderful collection of Asian snuff bottles was donated by the Caldwell Family. Over the years the Museum received numerous donations of Edna Hibel work, paintings, lithographs, drawings, dolls and sculpture along with many non-Hibel art works. The Museum remained in Palm Beach until 1999 when it was temporarily relocated to Lake Worth, FL until their new facility on the John D. MacArthur Campus of Florida Atlantic University at Abacoa Town Center in Jupiter, FL was completed.. The Edna Hibel Art Foundation, a 501(c)3 tax exempt non profit organization, operates the Hibel Museum of Art through a Board of Trustees. The Museum continues to offers a Concert Series inside the Hibel Museum on the second Sunday of each month from November through April at 2. A "Tea" series, lectures, children's art camp and other special exhibits are offered throughout the year. Call (561) 622-5560 for further information. info@hibelmuseum.org Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11.a.m. to 4 p.m.
Please call the museum before making a trip to determine their current operating hours.
