On May 7, ALINA Residences Boca Raton, developed by El-Ad National Properties, an Elad Group company with a South Florida-based team, partnered with the Boca Raton Museum of Art to host a sculpture unveiling at ALINA 220, 220 SE Mizner Blvd., Boca Raton, FL 33432, a world-class residential destination. The event mirrored ALINA Residences’ longstanding partnership with the museum, collaborating on a rotating public art initiative that brings museum-curated sculptures to the ALINA campus.

The event, which commenced with opening remarks and a preview of the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s upcoming programming by its new CEO, Dr. Ena Heller, included a brief walking tour between the sculptures, a champagne toast and optional ALINA property tours led by the ALINA sales team.

It was attended by the City of Boca Raton’s Public Art Coordinator, Veronica Hatch; El-Ad National Properties CEO Matthew Jeffries and Vice President of Sales and Marketing Candace Jorritsma. Members of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, the exclusive sales and marketing team for ALINA Residences Boca Raton, were also present. Boca Raton Museum of Art representatives included Heller, Deputy Director for Collections and Exhibitions Martin Hanahan, and Board Chair John DesPrez.

The unveiling highlighted two sculptures by renowned American sculptor Richard Erdman — Continuum (2005), bronze, and Belladonna (2005), bronze — reflecting the synergy between ALINA and the museum. Both sculptures were acquired by the Boca Raton Museum of Art in 2016 as gifts from noted philanthropists Carole and Barry Kaye and are currently on loan to ALINA Residences. Erdman’s adaptability and his intimate understanding of the materials with which he sculpts have led to the creation of a prolific body of work that encompasses intimate maquettes to massive, monumental works. He is known for his forward-thinking, modern adaptations of marble and bronze sculptures in graceful, flowing designs. His works belong to collections in 52 countries across six continents, including the United Nations, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Princeton University, and the Rockefeller Collection. Continuum and Belladonna are currently on display outside ALINA Residences Boca Raton along Southeast Mizner Boulevard, enhancing the cultural landscape of downtown Boca Raton.

This unveiling builds on ALINA’s art partnership with the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which began during Phase One with the installation of two sculptures in 2021. The new works by Erdman are the first to be added at ALINA 220 as part of the development’s second and final phase.

This initiative began 2021 with the installation of two sculptures — Larry Mohr’s cXc XXII (1984), which strikes a balance between light, mass, and space; and Guy Dill’s Key Angel (2005) bronze, which balances several bronze shapes to create a precarious yet beautiful structure — along Mizner Boulevard in front of ALINA, enhancing the streetscape for residents and the public. 

The unveiling aligned with Boca Raton's commitment to public art through its Public Art Boca program. Established in 2023, the program aims to enhance the city's urban landscape and distinctive sense of place by integrating art, creativity, and culture throughout the community. Notable installations include murals at Red Reef West and Spanish River Park’s beach tunnels, as well as sculptures at Wildflower and Silver Palm Parks. 

“At ALINA Residences Boca Raton, we are pleased to share in Boca Raton’s commitment to public art,” said Jeffries. “This delightful event expanded upon our dedication to the Public Art Boca program and now showcases new museum-curated works as part of our streetscape.”

“Boca Raton Museum of Art’s collaboration with ALINA Residences Boca Raton represents the value that this world-class destination places upon the importance of showcasing and appreciating exquisite pieces,” said Heller. “We are honored to be a part of the incredible lifestyle that ALINA offers.”About ALINA Residences
