Seaside Pavilions Art Collection

Along a stretch of Florida highway called 30A, you will find the Seaside Pavilions. These pavilions serve as pedestrian gateways from asphalt streets and pastel architecture to sandy white beaches and blue-green waters.

The Seaside Pavilions Art Collection, as created by Patrick Burton, aspires to celebrate the unique and individual architecture of each pavilion.

A Brief History of Seaside

Envisioned by Robert Davis in the early 1980's, the town of Seaside, Florida, was the first community to implement the city planning strategy of New Urbanism. This concept sought to deviate from the rural sprawl of typical suburbia and instead create a walkable community, with vibrant outdoor spaces, designed at a more intimate and human scale. The nine Seaside Pavilions contributed to this concept by creating gateways for pedestrians to travel from the built environment to the natural one. Each pavilion is designed by a different architect, and each represents a different architectural vision while preserving the walkable design of the community and anchoring its main streets to the beach.

Quality Artwork

Each painting is printed on archival quality paper with a silk surface finish. It is then secured in a heavyweight, bevel cut mat made of professional archival board.

The print paper has a standard archival value of 100 years in the typical home display. And the mat board conforms to the Fine Art Trade Guild's requirements for Conservation Board.

Please Note: depending on your monitor settings, colors may appear slightly different on screen than they will appear on the physical print.
