Art in a Historic Courtyard

The Courtyard Gallery is located on the historic grounds of the Lightner Museum, within a space that overlooks the garden courtyard complete with a water feature and a small, arched bridge reminiscent of Monet’s Giverny. It's a quiet favorite among visitors and locals alike—especially for those who enjoy shopping in a relaxed, scenic setting while exploring the museum's grounds.

At the Courtyard Gallery, visitors explore a wide selection of artworks, from vintage paintings and prints to contemporary creations and sculpture. The gallery also includes a sizable jewelry collection, with both estate and modern pieces.

Among the featured artists is St. Augustine’s own Emmett Fritz, whose paintings offer a distinct perspective on the city’s mid-century charm. His work, along with others on display, reflects the gallery’s interest in regional talent and collectible pieces.

Community Engagement

The Courtyard Gallery actively participates in St. Augustine's First Friday Art Walk, a monthly event that celebrates the city's vibrant art scene. During these evenings, the gallery extends its hours, welcoming visitors to explore new exhibits and engage with the local art community.
