The sculptures aren’t the only things making themselves at home at the Underwater Museum of Art 🐠🌊

Over time, marine life becomes part of the artwork —turning each sculpture into a living, evolving piece of the Gulf’s underwater landscape.

The CAA's internationally acclaimed Underwater Museum of Art (UMA) has been selected as Florida's featured public artwork in 250: A Celebration of Public Art in the U.S., a virtual exhibition presented by NOT REAL ART in partnership with CODAworx and Arterial.

Launched on July 3, the exhibition celebrates America's Semiquincentennial by highlighting one extraordinary public artwork from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Curated by former New York gallery director Kirsten Bengtson-Lykoudis, the online exhibition showcases public artworks that transform everyday spaces into places of beauty, reflection, and connection. Selected from the extensive CODAworx Project Library, the exhibition features sculptures, murals, installations, and immersive public art experiences from across the country and will remain permanently archived online.

More than just an art exhibit, the Underwater Museum of Art (UMA) is a powerful statement about ocean conservation. Each sculpture, submerged off the coast of Grayton Beach State Park, becomes a vital artificial reef, offering refuge and a foundation for marine ecosystems to flourish. 💙

Our mission is to create and expand these underwater habitats, supporting biodiversity and raising awareness about the importance of protecting our seas.
