The Boca Raton Museum of Art (Phase I), located to the west of the Count de Hoernle Amphitheater, is constructed and opened to the public in January 2001.

Currently, The Centre is constructing Phase II of the project at Mizner Park which is slated for completion in October, 2002. Also included in the $6 million second phase is the construction of a landmark tower, decorative fountain, concert green and perimeter 2-tier colonnade available for concert seating.

Unique giving opportunities remain for Phase II including prominent naming opportunities at the Count de Hoernle Amphitheater and engraved paver stones.
