NSU Art Museum Call for Support

NSU ART MUSEUM FORT LAUDERDALE CALL FOR SUPPORT

The goal of this campaign is to continue providing the community with programs that truly make a difference. We are focused on two main areas: Student Outreach: For many local Title I students, a school trip to our museum is their very first time seeing professional art in person. Your support helps us provide the tours and hands-on activities that spark their creativity and help them see the world differently.  Programs for All: We strive to be a place where everyone feels welcome. This includes programs like Sensory Saturdays, which offer a supportive environment for neurodivergent individuals and their families to enjoy the museum at their own pace.   GIVE NOW Our Goal We want to ensure that the museum continues to be a vibrant part of South Florida for years to come. By donating to this campaign, you aren’t just giving to a museum—you are investing in the people we serve. Your gift helps us:  Bring more students into the galleries for educational tours. Provide art supplies and materials for community workshops. Keep our exhibitions and local programs running strong. Join Us We invite you to help us build a bright future for the arts in Fort Lauderdale. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us share the power of art with our neighbors and friends. Thank you for being a part of our story.

Upcoming Exhibition: Angelica Reisch, "The Things That Stay" — opens April 9 at MIFA

 

"The Things That Stay"

Experience the opening of artist Angelica Reisch's The Things That Stay,  on view at Miami International Fine Arts (MIFA) from April 9 through May 22, 2026, with an Opening Reception taking place on Thursday, April 9th from 6–8pm.

The exhibition brings together drawings in graphite and oil pastel alongside archival audio recordings, exploring memory, domestic space, and the quiet traces of presence that linger after we leave a place. The work depicts interior environments — bedrooms, kitchens, hallways — rendered not as documentation but as psychological spaces shaped by emotion and recollection. The exhibition is curated by Pamela Solares and is funded in part by a grant from South Arts.

Angelica Reisch is an artist based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Her work has been supported by a FY26 Artist Creative Practice Grant from South Arts, the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Artist Award, a Nasher Sculpture Center Artist Microgrant, and grants from the Dallas Museum of Art and the Vermont Studio Center.

MIFA is located at 5900 NW 74th Avenue in Miami, FL 33166.

Experience the Opening of "Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture" at the Pérez Art Museum Miami on March 19, 2026

 

Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture explores the dynamic interplay between athletic performance and artistic expression. Coinciding with major international sporting events taking place in Miami—the Miami Open, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the FIFA World Cup, the exhibition positions Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) as a site where global audiences converge to reflect on the cultural impact of sport. In a city shaped by exchange and diversity, the exhibition underscores how games and competitions create common ground across traditions, identities, and rivalries.

Featuring more than 100 works by artists from around the world—including highlights from PAMM’s collection—Get in the Game demonstrates how sport has inspired both personal expression and shared cultural memory. Visitors encounter Ernie Barnes’s soulful depictions of neighborhood basketball games, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s cinematic meditation that follows French soccer star Zinedine Zidane’s in real time over the course of a match, and Tara Mateik’s reenactment of the historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Artworks are presented alongside historic sports memorabilia—from 1970s Nike sneakers to original McLaren Racing steering wheels—revealing the intertwined histories of creativity, athleticism, and spectacle.

Ultimately, Get in the Game honors the resilience, energy, and imagination that define sports culture, while inviting visitors to consider how art reframes these themes across time and place. Immersive installations extend the experience beyond the visual, encouraging audiences to step into the arena.

On view: March 19, 2026 – August 23, 2026.

Mahara&Co presents Two New Art Exhibitions: Tender Hours, featuring Miami-based artist Natalia Juncadella and Read Me, a group show that brings together artists who place language at the center of their practice.

 

Enjoy the Opening Reception of  Tender Hours at Mahara&Co featuring new paintings by Miami-based artist Natalia Juncadella, curated by Veronica Sesana Grajales on Saturday, March 7th from 5 - 8pm. Her work explores interior spaces, diasporic memory, and the poetics of light—transforming domestic details into meditations on stillness, identity, and Latin American visual language. This exhibition is on view from March 7–31, 2026. 

Guests will also experience the opening of Read Me, a group show that brings together artists who place language at the center of their practice. Curated by Veronica Sesana Grajales. Through cut paper, manipulated newspapers, woven text, altered signage, and commemorative forms, the exhibition considers what it means to "read" in an era defined by speed, scrolling, and visual overload.

Together, these exhibitions engage material, memory, and meaning from distinct yet resonant perspectives—one rooted in intimate domestic space, the other in the public life of language. Exhibitions are on view March 7 - 31, 2026.

Last chance to view 'Addison Wolff: At the Baths' at NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale | Closes March 22, 2026

 

Addison Wolff: At the Baths

September 21, 2025, through March 22, 2026

At the Baths marks the debut solo museum presentation of South Florida artist Addison Wolff (b. 1987, Winter Park, FL; lives and works in Fort Lauderdale) at NSU Art Museum. Wolff’s practice centers on his use of synthetic polymer paints on bisque-fired ceramics, with which he creates layered, hybrid works that merge sculpture and painting, inviting reflection on the human impulse for definition and the process of identity formation. For this presentation, Wolff’s abstract ceramic vessels will be presented within a site-specific installation inspired by communal bathhouse architecture. The exhibition draws from classical references such as the ancient Greek fresco, The Tomb of the Diver, and invites consideration of the contemporary manifestation of bathhouses. As Wolff challenges the traditional boundaries of material and meaning, the exhibition highlights the boundless potential of abstraction as a form of personal and collective expression.

At the Baths is organized by Ariella Wolens, Bryant-Taylor Curator.

Renowned Autistic Artist Vito Bonanno's Artwork in the Corporate Collections of AMAZON and Google

Mixed Media Artist Vito Bonanno

Vito Bonanno is an internationally collected artist who lives and works on the Connecticut shoreline. He has exhibited in solo exhibitions during Art Basel Miami Beach Week, FL, Umbrella Arts Gallery, NYC & Akus Gallery, Willimantic, CT.

Internationally collected artist Vito Bonanno taps into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism, placing his innermost feelings onto canvas. The New England-based artist's work is image and concept-driven and embedded in his personal philosophy. His art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts, and dreams, coupled with objects or topics that "get stuck in his head", including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans, graffiti, and pop culture. Corporate clients include AMAZON, Google, and The Hartford.

'Brooklyn Cat'

Bonanno taps into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism, placing his innermost feelings onto canvas. He is an award-winning, world-famous artist with a career spanning back to his childhood. The artist has participated in numerous art fairs, as well as national and international exhibitions, in addition to many art shows and high profile events during Art Basel Miami Beach - such as a past NIKE pop-up in Wynwood during Miami Art Week, as well as traveling in an art van Truck'N With Vito! at Umbrella Arts Gallery in NYC's lower east side, selling his art and spreading awareness about being an artist with autism.

'Vito's Mind'

He unveiled his first Solo Exhibition, 'Unfiltered V: Vito Bonanno Riding with the Train Girls', in January 2012 at Akus Gallery at Eastern CT State University which included works on paper, canvas, video pieces, a student-artist interactive mural project, and installations. Akus Gallery Director, Elizabeth Peterson stated, "The characters, objects, and ideas that inhabit Vito Bonanno's work act and interact in striking ways. Caught within the grids and map-like structures he imagines, they are often in a struggle between multiple worlds. He has found a way to tap in the intensity of focus and insight afforded him through autism to unleash a formidable creative power and vision." His winning pieces, ‘Ghost Town on Davenport Avenue’ was exhibited at the S. Dillon Ripley Center of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and then was part of a traveling exhibition that went on a two year nationwide tour of university and independent galleries. Additionally, a second winning piece titled ‘Southhaven People’, was on exhibit at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C. before also partaking in the nationwide traveling exhibition that ran through September 2011.

He is one of only 16 artists in the United States selected for a prestigious exhibition of previous awardees from the VSA Emerging Artists Program in the Kennedy Center Hall of Nations with sponsorship from the Volkswagen Group of America. As part of the celebrations for the 25th Anniversary of the ADA and 40th Anniversary of VSA in 2015, the exhibition included the work of select artists who represented the past 13 years of the VSA Emerging Young Artist Program; Curated by Stephanie Moore, she chose Bonanno's 'Daffy Goes to Waterbury with a Ninja Turtle' and 'SECR Toilet' to be part of the exhibition.

'Daffy Goes to Waterbury with a Ninja Turtle'

Vito is aligned with ArtLifting, which is a non-for-profit art organization that empowers artists living with disabilities through the celebration and sale of their artwork. ArtLifting is about creating opportunity, empowerment, and validation. This collaboration opened many new and exciting opportunities for the artist, which includes his work in Google's corporate collection, with art hanging in their Leesburg, VA offices, as well as Amazon, for one of their corporate buildings in Seattle, Washington.

'Channels 1'

Bonanno was diagnosed with PDD/Autism just before his 4th birthday. Because he was language delayed, his parents and teachers developed strategies that tapped into his high visual acuity, utilizing storyboard styles to relay academic and social information. He was also encouraged to draw in storyboard format to express his feelings. The storyboard grid remains prominent in his work and studio preparation today and is a poignant reminder of a boy who was trapped in his own mind.
