Dear Members of NSU Art Museum,

We extend our sincerest gratitude to you for supporting the Museum and continuing your membership throughout this challenging year.

Members who take advantage of this offer also experience extra months of museum benefits as the new expiration date is the anniversary of the upgrade.

This package includes access to the prestigious Art Basel fair in Miami Beach with its diverse selection of leading international art galleries displaying a wide array of art. You will also receive access to satellite fairs taking place in Miami Beach and Downtown Miami.

We encourage you to reserve and secure your access to these events early through your NSU Art Museum membership.
