The Cinco Banderas Collection

About the Collection
The Cinco Banderas Collection was conceived and founded through the generosity and 
efforts of a single Northwest Florida family dedicated to the arts. The permanent collection, 
established through the Arts Council of Northwest Florida, is exhibited in appropriate 
public locations. The Cinco Banderas Collection is made possible through an endowment 
fund established to support outstanding individual artists, and to provide funds for 
non-traditional arts programs in Northwest Florida. Major funding has been provided by 
the Florida Arts Council/Division of Cultural Affairs, and by donors to the United Arts Funds 
of the Arts Council of Northwest Florida.
