When is a luxury retail mall environment also an artistic gallery? When a collaborative effort makes it happen.

The Forbes Company and the Suess Brand are bringing a traveling exhibition to a luxury Florida mall to illustrate how arts and culture can meld into the retail environment and enhance the cultural life of a community.

In what the partners are calling a 'first of its kind' public art installation, the art of Dr. Seuss will be on display starting next week at the Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, in conjunction with the Ann Jackson Gallery of Atlanta, Georgia.

"This collaborative, museum-quality exhibition features compelling selections of artworks and sculptures from The Art of Dr. Seuss; works from Dr. Seuss' best-known children’s books, and The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, a mind-expanding collection based on decades of artwork that Dr. Seuss created at night for his own personal pleasure," states an announcement.

The Art of Dr. Seuss exhibit is open to the public, with no cost of admission, from Jan. 17 to Feb. 14, and exhibition hours will run concurrent with mall hours, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
