Small, but mighty museum

One Thousand Ocean Memories
They have a beautiful building, covid 19 procedures, great staff. Very good exhibits, visitors 80%- 90% locals, equally divided male & female, main ages 40- 70 yrs. old. Here's an exhibition you can be part of. Artserve and South Florida interdisciplinary artist Lizzy Taber have created a collaboration that explores our relationship with the ocean. Submit a photo of the ocean and a paragraph or two about the memory it evokes. It will be integrated into a mural, that will be installed in the Fort Lauderdale gallery.

Great For a Brief Visit
The NSU Art Museum is advertised all over Fort Lauderdale, especially this week for the Anna Sui exhibit. I found it to be interesting even though I'm not a fashionista. The second floor had several other exhibits by interesting artists. Ike Ude was very unusual and different. I especially enjoyed the works by William J. Glasken, "From Pencil to Paint". All of the second floor exhibits were worth the time to view. There is a small gift shop with splendid items for sale and the staff with whom visitors interact were all very friendly. If you'd like a place to spend an hour or so to get out of the rain, or to take a break from the sun, I recommend this museum.
