Feb. 1, 2008 - This is the last weekend to see an exhibit at the Orlando Museum of Art that showcases local art collectors and their prized possessions. Many Central Florida residents are passionate about collecting art - and it'not just the wealthy who join the ranks. 90.7's Becky Morgan reports.

We look at art collecting with New York curator Sue Scott, local visual artist Donna Dowless and art collectors Dr. Robert Feldman and Josh Garrick.
The Orlando Museum of Art's exhibit COLLECTOR'S CHOICE III - AUDACITY IN ART closes Sunday, Feb. 3. It features work from the private collections of over 25 local art enthusiasts, many of whom are members of OMA's Acquisition Trust - a group who not only help fund purchases of new work by the museum, they enjoy educational programs to help them learn about art collecting. The exhibit was guest-curated by Sue Scott.
