Co-presented by NSU Art Museum and NSU Health.

Between the acceptance of germ theory in the 1880s and the antibiotic revolution of the twentieth century, works of art enjoyed a unique moment in which they functioned in medicinal terms for both artists and viewers. This talk considers, for example, how the painter Abbott Thayer addressed his fear of disease by turning his children into the subject of art following the death of his wife from tuberculosis. Works of art also defined the public perception of Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the nineteenth century’s most famous writers and tuberculous patients, who was pictured by John Singer Sargent and Augustus Saint-Gaudens through a romantic lens that treated his illness as a mark of talent. These examples suggest how Gilded Age artists translated disease into another language–a visual language with therapeutic powers.

Join The Bass for the first public presentation of Johnston Marklee’s design for the museum’s next chapter.

Cost: $20

Writing Workshop

Inspired by Yuko Mohri’s exhibition, this workshop invites participants to explore what ordinary objects might reveal when we look beyond the visible. Mohri’s work draws attention to unseen relationships — between decay and transformation, matter and sound, time and perception. In this generative writing workshop, we’ll use surrealist poetry and imaginative prompts to enter that same territory on the page.

Together, we’ll read poems & prose that open strange and surprising connections between objects, then write from images, objects, sensations, and associations inspired by the exhibition. Participants will be encouraged to move past literal description and into surprise, mystery, and transformation — discovering how writing can make the invisible felt.

No prior writing experience is required. This workshop is for anyone curious about art, poetry, imagination, and the hidden life of the world around us.

Workshops @ The Bass are created for adults ages 21+ at any skill level. All materials are provided. 

The class is $10 for museum members up to the Affiliate level, free for Affiliate members and above, and $20 for nonmembers.

Figure Drawing Workshop

In tandem with the museum’s featured exhibition by artist Yuko Mohri, Syntropy: Learning To See Is The First Step is an immersive workshop on November 15th that uniquely pairs live model figure drawing with still life compositions. The session connects Mohri’s focus on how everyday objects interact with the concept of syntropy—the idea of turning random, scattered pieces of life into a meaningful, orderly connection. Participants can expect a mindful, beginner-friendly practice that sharpens their visual awareness, showing how learning to see deeply allows us to bring the world around us into beautiful creative alignment and connection.

Celebrating PRIDE Month with art and community

Join us for Noche de Arte, collaboARTive’s free weekly art experience at Gallery 100 inside InterContinental Miami—where hotel guests, locals, and visitors come together for a relaxed night of art, conversation, and creative play.

Each Monday, you’ll meet a featured artist, enjoy light bites provided by InterContinental Miami, and take part in a hands-on collage activity—no experience needed, just show up and make something.

JUNE 2026 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: O. GUSTAVO PLASCENCIA

A key part of the experience: the Artist-in-Residence creates live during the event, breaking down the borders between artist and viewer and inviting everyone into the process in real time.

Celebrating PRIDE Month in June

PRIDE Month is a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, creativity, and community—and to reaffirm that everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and welcome. At collaboARTive, that aligns with what Noche de Arte is all about: bringing people together through art, conversation, and shared creative play.

This month at Noche de Arte, we’re honoring PRIDE by uplifting LGBTQ+ artists and allies, making space for self-expression, and celebrating the joy that comes from showing up as your full self. Join us in June as we create, connect, and keep building a community where everyone belongs.

“We have broken boundaries and provided a wonderful opportunity for local artists to showcase their works, engage with their black book and interact with our hotel guests. Thank you all for your support and partnership and we look forward to continuing to make magic together! ” — Gina Genna, Dir. of Marketing, InterContinental Miami

About the Artist

O. Gustavo Plascencia is a visual artist and educator whose creative work documents local ecosystems and practices walking methodologies to create a record of his surroundings. He explores the intersection of photography, nature, and memory, presenting landscapes as silent witnesses to personal and collective histories. His practice also focuses on the duality between the personal and the communal, and the self and society. Plascencia attended the Escuela de Artes Plásticas “Ruben Herrera” in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, before immigrating to the USA. He has held several academic appointments at the University of North Texas, Memphis College of Art, and Lycoming College before being appointed Dean of Visual Arts at the New World School of the Arts in Miami, FL.

Now in it’s fifth year of programming, Noche de Arte is presented by collaboARTive in partnership with InterContinental Miami Hotel, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Miami Downtown Development Authority, and with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council and the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. Sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Kick off the 2026 PAMMSonic DJ series and Miami Music Week with Danny Daze, Cuban-American DJ and music producer.

Steeped in Miami’s B-boy culture, Daze’s obsession with the “raw and unpolished” began with classic electro and Miami bass, eventually fueling his deep dive into the experimental Dutch and Detroit techno scenes of the ’90s. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse labels like Schematic, Interdimensional Transmissions, and Viewlexx, Daze brings a sonic edge that is both raw and unapologetically authentic. Before the set, enjoy a tour in the galleries and grab a happy hour snack and drink at our waterfront restaurant Verde.

History Fort Lauderdale, committed to preserving our collective heritage, promoting historical literacy, and fostering a sense of pride and stewardship for the vibrant tapestry of our region’s history, will present a free book signing with James R. “Bud” Fraser, Sr., author of “Tales from Growing Up in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” on Friday, March 6, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Fraser will appear at The New River Inn Museum of History (231 SW Second Avenue in Fort Lauderdale). His Broward appearance is part of History Fort Lauderdale’s “Florida Scribes & Stories,” a meet the author series that offers literary and history enthusiasts a chance to speak with local authors, purchase their latest releases and have them signed.

Fraser, a native-born Floridian who graduated from Stranahan High School in 1952, spent his early years along the Atlantic Ocean and coastal South Florida embarking on many unforgettable adventures with friends and family – fishing, swimming, boating, camping and exploring. He watched the region grow from the late 1930s through the early 1950s – from rural, undeveloped land with some family farms to the beginning of the metropolitan area it is today. His family moved to Lake City after he graduated high school.

Through his self-published book, “Tales from Growing Up in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” he shares these memorable experiences and offers rare glimpses and insight into local history.

Brian L. Polk, editor and Florida historian writes, “Bud is a wonderful storyteller, and he uses detailed, descriptive writing that will transport you back to a similar time during his youth. Some readers will reminisce; others will be enlightened; and all will be entertained.”

Guests may RSVP to this free author talk and book signing at https://bit.ly/FloridaScribesFraser2026

An exclusive VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the venue, a celebrity host and appearances from Florida Panthers alumni players will add to the memorable evening which recognizes individuals and companies who have made significant contributions to the growth of the City of Fort Lauderdale.

All guests to the event honoring South Florida’s back-to-back 2024 & 2025 Stanley Cup Champions will enjoy wine and spirits with culinary delights plus an opportunity to view Florida Panthers memorabilia and other collectibles from the exclusive Wayne Huizenga collection, which was donated to History Fort Lauderdale. WSVN 7 Sportscaster Donovan Campbell has been tapped as a guest host for the milestone celebration. The event will also be attended by former Florida Panthers team members Serge Payer and Peter J. Worrell who will meet guests and offer photo and autograph opportunities.

Thirty VIP ticketholders will have rare opportunity to join Keith Fine, vice president, programming and development for the Florida Panthers, for a personal behind-the-scenes tour of the historic War Memorial Auditorium and the cutting-edge Baptist Health IcePlex. This immersive experience offers a new lens into sports, infrastructure, and community impact. Fine will share insider stories of the venue’s transformation and its role in anchoring the Panthers’ community presence. Attendees will walk the same halls that have hosted legends and learn how this venue continues to shape the future of Florida sports. Guests will descend into the hidden world beneath the Baptist Health IcePlex — a marvel of sports engineering to witness the underground operations that keep two full-sized indoor ice rinks running flawlessly in the South Florida heat. The tour concludes with a glimpse into the sanctum of the Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers — their official locker room.

During MOAD Stories, participants will enjoy a special curated tour of the Freedom Tower, focused on personal reflection and storytelling. Following the tour, attendees will gather in the Knight Skylight Gallery for conversation and artmaking. All ages are welcome. Museum admission and workshop are free for all those who register.

Cristina Lei Rodriguez is an American visual artist known for an expansive practice that includes installation, photography, sculpture, public art, and more recently, painting. Rodriguez’s artworks are influenced by her identity and experience in the cultural landscape of the American tropics. Her perspective comes through in the landscapes she creates that position nature as a tool for deep reflection about accumulation, decay, transformation, and texture. The works are variously textured- like layers of ground sedimentation- created from materials that are plastic and industrial and, on the other end of the spectrum, precious and earthy.

Visitors to the Freedom Tower may park for free in the MDC garage at 500 NE Second Avenue, between NE Fifth and NE Sixth Streets.

The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC may document the event, including its attendees. By entering the area, and/or participating in the event, you consent to the recording and its use in any form.

Complimentary admission with RSVP. Limited seated based on first-come, first-served.

Commissioner, Miami’s longest-running community-led art commissioning program, leads a conversation exploring how art and collecting can serve as tools for truth-telling, memory, and cultural reclamation. Inspired by artist Isaac Julien’s Vagabondia (2000), soon on view at The Bass, the invited panel will also consider the evolving role and responsibility of individuals and communities in the cultural stewardship and preservation of inclusive narratives.

In addition to the talk, guests can partake in a public art walk—an activity to reflect on how shared experiences and cultural memories are recorded in our very own neighborhoods. This exercise will encourage participants to consider how their stories contribute to a broader, more expansive historical record, and how these memories can be preserved for future generations.

Japanese-born artist Yuko Mohri creates kinetic installations and sculptures that respond to environmental forces such as gravity, sound, and humidity. Using found materials, she constructs systems that evolve in real time, challenging ideas of control, permanence, and authorship in art.

Mohri joins James Voorhies, Curator-at-Large at The Bass, for a guided discussion on her process, her relationship with unpredictability, and shifting conditions that shape her work. Together they will explore the role of impermanence in contemporary installation art and the creative potential of chance.

The Bass Museum of Art
2100 Collins Ave,
Miami Beach, Florida, 33139
Website
Cost: $15

Figure Drawing Workshop

The Art of Seeing: Line and Gesture begins with a visit to Sarah Crowner’s exhibition Faire Foyer: Sarah Crowner in Dialogue with Etel Adnan, where her reflective bronze sculptures embody movement, gesture, and organic form. Observing how her shapes seem to breathe and shift with light, we draw a connection between her sculptural language and the living human body.

From there, we move into the practice of drawing with a live model. We begin with short one- and two-minute poses, capturing the rhythm and gestural energy of the figure. As we progress to longer poses, structure and form take on a more prominent role in our study of the body. The focus is on observation, intuition, and the expressive potential of the line—learning not only to draw what we see, but to see with greater attention and presence.

Workshops @ The Bass are created for adults ages 21+ at any skill level. All materials are provided.

The class is $15 for museum members and $20 for nonmembers.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33301
RSVP / Register
Cost: Free

History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, will present a free book signing and meet & greet with Joe Williams, author of Unearthed. He will be available to meet guests and autograph copies of his book on Tuesday, October 14, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.

His appearance, part of History Fort Lauderdale’s “Florida Scribes & Stories,” also coincides with the grand opening of the new exhibit, “The Growth and History of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.” This engaging exhibition takes a closer look at the department’s progress over the years, from 1915 to the present, while also highlighting the sometimes-scandalous history that has shaped its story. The exhibit features images and narratives from the department’s origins to the prohibition era, organized crime, gambling and outlaws, to mid-century racial tensions and finally, the expansion, modernization, and professionalism of today. Williams is also a major contributor of artifacts and photographs to the new exhibit.

Unearthed captures the dark history of Broward County in the 1940s. A tough-as-nails sheriff who did things his way. The New York mobster Meyer Lansky who profited from his friendship with the sheriff’s department. It is a story of a young cop hired to enforce the Florida gambling laws, ultimately leading to his untimely death. A 75-year-old story of his tragic death from a car accident … or was it?

Drinks and light bites will be provided. Guests may RSVP to bit.ly/FloridaScribesWilliams2025.

History Fort Lauderdale is proud to host a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.” The nonprofit museum also hosts an artists’ collective collaborative space.

Families are invited to pop on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the lookout tower, Jake’s Mountain and the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble.

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists – Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin and Brian Reedy 10/18/25 – 1/4/26

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists – Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin and Brian Reedy
Saturday, 10/18/2025-01/04/2026, 10:00 am-05:00 pm
Hollywood Art and Culture Center
1650 Harrison St.,
Hollywood, Florida, 33020
Website
Cost: $10 – general admission; $5 – Seniors 65 +, Students 13 -17, Free for Hollywood Art and Culture Center members, children under 12, active US military personnel families and teachers

Hollywood Art and Culture Center, celebrating its 50th anniversary, will feature three new art exhibitions for the fall/winter season. Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets and Felice Grodin: Where Do I Go From Here? will be on display from Saturday, October 18, through Sunday, January 4, and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints will be on display from October 18 through November 2 in the main gallery space. An opening reception will take place on October 18 beginning at 6 p.m.

A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos. Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon — a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. Scholl’s work gives us an insight into his keen collector’s eye and his skill at design and storytelling. In Untitled (Viking Orbiter II), photographs of Mars captured using surface imaging are arranged in thoughtful compositions. Visitors will find themselves viewing a piece of history transported back to 1969 with the work Untitled (Man on Moon). This exhibition contains more than 14 works of art that immerse the viewer into the history and collective memory of outer space, the universe, and astronauts. From real space food to sculptures created using space gloves, to viewfinders with images of the universe, this exhibition will fascinate science, history and modern art enthusiasts alike.

Felice Grodin’s architectural training informs her drawings, intricately weaving together elements of imagination, the future, and the past. Where Do I Go From Here? features more than 10 new works, some of which were created during Grodin’s time as a Center 2025 Spring Artist in Residence. With meticulous care and references to ancient civilizations, Grodin renders lines into complex arrangements of circles and curves, creating dynamic three-dimensional forms and exploring the concept of mental boundaries. Her art transports viewers to a psychological realm reminiscent of maps, cities, landscapes, and speculative future worlds. These ink drawings on mylar can sometimes rely on chance, or automatism, liberating not only the creative process, but inviting viewers into the surreal.

Gothic Pop Prints by Miami artist Brian Reedy features more than 10 custom linoleum block prints. The Center commissioned Reedy to create a work about Lizzie Borden inspired by Lizzie the Musical, which will be performed Oct. 18 – Nov. 1 at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center. In addition to the Lizzie Borden print, the exhibition features the macabre and spooky iconography of hauntings, oddities, and the afterlife in an expressionist and graphic style. Reedy’s woodblock prints combine his eye for graphic design, the skill of European medieval woodcuts and Japanese woodblock prints into modern pop culture masterpieces. Reedy creates modern works of art using the painstaking process of block printing, the craft of hand carving wood blocks to transfer ink to paper. Brian’s expertise in this art form has provided a unique combination of traditional print making with pop-culture iconography and themes.

A guided tour of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, December 4, at 7 p.m. An artist talk will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 1 p.m. On Saturdays, November 15 and December 20, at 6 p.m., a free curator tour/Downtown Hollywood Art Walk will be conducted.

These exhibits were made possible through support from the City of Hollywood, Broward County Cultural Division, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Max Chira and Family, State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, Community Foundation Broward, David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation, Josephine S. Leiser Foundation, Memorial Healthcare System, The Windhover Foundation & Quadracci Family, Kofsky Weinger, PA, and Helen Ingham Foundation.

Kids and families can now play and save the day with the heroic PAW Patrol™ pups, at the brand-new PAW Patrol: Adventure Play traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Florida Prepaid College Savings Plan and Chewy VetCare, opening September 12 at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Based on the hit preschool series PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon, this interactive exhibit gives kids and their grown-ups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment. The exhibit runs through January 10, 2026.
Families will visit Adventure Bay with a group of eight rescue pups. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job like a police officer (Chase), a firefighter (Marshall), a construction worker (Rubble), a fearless pilot (Skye) and more. Just as the heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect the community on the TV show, families will work together to save the day with a can-do attitude. In the process, kids learn about different jobs within a community and how those real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy.
Each of the pups has special skills, gadgets and vehicles to help them on their rescue missions. In the exhibit, families are invited to pop on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the lookout tower. They can head to Jake’s Mountain and scope things out near the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble. They can also board the PAW Patroller, push buttons, and drive it up the mountain to help Rubble and Everest rescue a snowboarder stuck in the snow. Those with a taste for foodie adventures can whip up tasty treats in Porter’s Café and help Adventure Bay win the Tallest Cake Competition by stacking cake layers as high as they can. Families can also cruise Adventure Bay aboard the Sea Patroller, steering it to rescue baby seagulls and turtles.

The hands-on, immersive PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit is a fun way for the whole family to learn bravery and heroism, with exciting stories. The whole family will learn how to combine their skills to problem-solve together and save the day.

Wanna Be Weekends in October and November: No Job Too Big!
MODS will extend the PAW Patrol: Adventure Play experience with Wanna Be Weekends, taking place every Saturday and Sunday in October and November. These themed weekends feature engaging, hands-on activities highlighting real-life community heroes and STEAM-based careers. From designing rescue vehicles and building homes to meeting local police officers, firefighters, first responders and even learning how to be a pilot, families will discover how teamwork, compassion and problem-solving shape the world around us. Thanks to support from the JetBlue Foundation, young aviators will have the chance to explore flight science and aviation careers through special programming and guest speakers.

On select days, Chewy VetCare will also host an interactive Vet Clinic, where children can step into the role of animal caretakers by practicing empathy and learning how to care for pets and other animals in need.

Each weekend brings new partners, fresh adventures and opportunities for children to imagine how they can make a difference just like the heroic pups of Adventure Bay.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis in partnership with Nickelodeon. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences, and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play is included with admission to MODS. For more information about the exhibit, visit mods.org/exhibit/paw-patrol-adventure-play/.

He uses field sketches, plein air paintings, and photographs to compose his pieces that are painted in layers with both knife and brush. He creates his landscapes to portray the splendor and simplicity of the natural world around us. Through his work, Tim seeks to lift the spirits and inspire awe above our day-to-day lives.

History Fort Lauderdale hosts a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.”

In honor of PRIDE Month, History Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale will present
The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort “Take PRIDE!” 2025 free photo exhibition
Zorita’s World, featuring photography highlights from the life and career of famed burlesque dancer, icon and LGBTQ+ advocate Zorita, along with costumes and other historical artifacts..

Zorita’s World offers a glimpse into the life and career of famed burlesque dancer and icon Zorita, as well as her same-sex relationships and networks of friends. The performer and entrepreneur pushed boundaries in Miami and beyond in the 1940s, ‘50s, and ‘60s – a time when so much of what she did was often controversial and illegal. Today, perhaps more than ever, her legacy and influence offer important lessons on the power of individuals in shaping history and making necessary waves towards progress. The exhibit is curated by Julio Capo, Jr., Ph.D., an author and associate professor of history at Florida International University.

Additional contributors to this year’s reception and exhibit are Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library and Florida International University. Capó curated a different exhibition on Zorita’s life in 2024 for Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library.

The exhibition, located near Swarovski, between Macy’s and Dillard’s, will be free and open to the public during Galleria Fort Lauderdale hours.

History Fort Lauderdale’s “Take PRIDE!” is sponsored by co-presenter Galleria Fort Lauderdale and title sponsor The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, The Our Fund Foundation, HotSpots Media Group/Happening Out Television Network and GPR | Goodman Public Relations.

231 SW 2nd Avenue,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33301
Website
Cost: Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students

History Fort Lauderdale, in celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, will present “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” from Thursday, May 1 – Sunday, June 29. The exhibition will showcase rarely seen historical photographs from the museum’s collection alongside contemporary works by artists Christina Lihan and Abby Laughlin. A free public opening reception with the artists will take place on Thursday, May 1, from 6 – 8 p.m., at the New River Inn Museum of History building on History Fort Lauderdale’s campus (231 Southwest Second Avenue).

Florida-based artist Christina Lihan transforms delicate paper into intricate sculptural landscapes, hand-cutting, folding, scoring and carving architectural forms that play with light and shadow. With a background in architecture from the University of Virginia and Columbia University, her work reflects a deep understanding of composition, technique, and design. Her meditative, labor-intensive process creates immersive environments that evoke a sense of place, often raising subtle questions of environmental justice. Her pieces have been exhibited internationally, from Shanghai to Tel Aviv, and she was recently commissioned to create eight large-scale sculptures for a new hotel in central London.

Fort Lauderdale artist and activist Abby Laughlin documents the beauty and history of mid-century modern architecture through photography and curated exhibitions. A former real estate professional with expertise in adaptive rehab, she brings a passionate, hands-on perspective to the importance of historic properties in shaping community identity. Laughlin serves on the boards of the Fort Lauderdale History Center and Docomomo US Florida, and is currently developing three major projects, including a fine arts book and a photography exhibit on mid-century landmarks. Her work captures both the nostalgia and urgency of preserving South Florida’s architectural heritage.

History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, hosts a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.”

History Fort Lauderdale’s “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund. Additional funding is provided, in part, by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale.

Beginning May 1, History Fort Lauderdale will be open five days a week from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. with docent guided tours, daily, at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. (closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Group walking tours are available upon special request. Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID).
