Curator Circle is NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale’s new affinity group designed for Next Generation of art enthusiasts, aspiring collectors, and Museum supporters!

This unique and exciting membership gives you the opportunity to directly participate in the Museum’s permanent collection by contributing to the Acquisition Fund dedicated to the selection and purchase of art works, while enjoying the benefits of stimulating and engaging events, and exclusive access to the art world.

As stated in the latest Modern Luxury Magazine March 2023 issue, ‘’Access and engagement are at the core of Bonnie Clearwater’s vision for NSU Art Museum’s Curator Circle’’.

We have started this extraordinary journey with the successful launch event hosted at Dalmar Hotel by the committee members on November 17, 2021. Many prominent art experiences have highlighted the first year, such as the visit of Martin Z. Margulies’s outstanding private collection, Miami Art Week special access, and Christie’s Miami events. We also had a blast at Superblue and enjoyed artist presentations by Jared McGriff, Thomas Bills and Christopher Carter, Keith Haring and Pierre Alechinsky, Lux et Veritas exhibitions openings, and more recently, Picturing Fame.

We are building a strong, diverse, and inclusive art community in Fort Lauderdale with art that will inspire future generations. We are proud of our members’ dedication and thankful for their vital support.

We invite you to be part of a fantastic art community and experience the full benefit of supporting NSU Art Museum: live the best art experiences, finest exhibitions, and engaging events!

Patrons like you, who genuinely support the arts, make it possible for NSU Art Museum to accomplish its mission of ‘’All the Arts for All the People’’ as Bonnie Clearwater stated in a recent interview, I am proud to share with you here.

We would love you to join this incredible Curator Circle journey. Now is the best moment to join as we will celebrate the inaugural Unveiling Reception on March 27, which is the core of this membership.

Indeed, this is great moment in NSU Art Museum’s history: the unveiling of the artwork Curator Circle voted for last February that will enter the museum’s permanent collection on March 27!

It is essential to grow the Curator Circle membership and Art Acquisition Fund for next year’s artwork selection and purchase!

Please join now to receive your personal invitation to the Unveiling Reception.

We count on each one of you to help us to achieve Curator Circle goal and proudly contribute to the Broward art community.
