Florida Tech makes plans to give Foosaner art to museum in Ocala

Florida Tech is finalizing the transfer of the permanent collections from the Foosaner Art Museum and the Funk Center for Textile Arts to the Appleton Museum of Art at the College of Central Florida in Ocala. As this process is still in progress and details are being finalized, we cannot offer any additional comments at this time, said Adam Lowenstein, a spokesman for the university. Florida Tech acquired the Foosaner, located in Melbourne s Eau Gallie Arts District, in July 2011, bolstered by a $1 million gift from the Foosaner Foundation and Dee Negroni-Hendrick, and agreed to run it for at least 10 years. University officials say they spent about $1.8 million bringing facilities up to code and more than $7 million to keep the museum open.
