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 “Tropical Chill,” a contemporary fine art exhibit that captures the serene spirit and coastal hues of South Florida’s mild winter season. The exhibit, on view from Wednesday, December 10, 2025, through Sunday, January 25, 2026, will showcase paintings, mixed media, and photography by celebrated local artists Phoenix, Lori Arbel, Kim Heise, and Karin Batchelder, along with select works and photographs from History Fort Lauderdale’s permanent collection.

The “Tropical Chill” exhibition captures the cheerful spirit of South Florida’s winter when the days are bright, breezy, and full of color. The exhibit brings together local artists who find inspiration in nature, emotion, and everyday life. Their paintings, photography, and mixed media pieces share stories of reflection and transformation, each one shaped by the beauty and rhythm of our region.

History Fort Lauderdale’s “Tropical Chill” exhibit 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.

History Fort Lauderdale offers a variety of engaging multicultural experiences throughout the year. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent displays including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “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,” “The Growth and History of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office,” and “Take PRIDE, a Retrospective on LGBTQ Life in South Florida.”

History Fort Lauderdale is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with docent-guided tours offered daily at 1, 2, and 3 p.m. Group walking tours are available upon special request.
