Insider Gaze: Ella Fontanals-Cisneros on Photography 9/22/26

Insider Gaze: Ella Fontanals-Cisneros on Photography
Tuesday, 09/22/2026-, 10:00 am-12:00 pm

RSVP / Register
Cost: 150

Join us for an intimate conversation on photography, collecting, and the ideas and relationships that shape meaningful collections.

What draws a collector to a photograph? How does a collection develop its own point of view? And what can we learn from the collector’s perspective?

Join renowned collector and philanthropist Ella Fontanals-Cisneros for an intimate online conversation exploring photography through the eyes of one of the leading figures in collecting art from Latin America.

Drawing from decades of experience, Fontanals-Cisneros will share firsthand insights into the decisions, relationships, discoveries, and opportunities that shape a collection over time. The conversation will explore how collectors encounter and engage with artists’ work, what informs the decision to acquire a photograph, how a collection develops its identity, and how collecting can help expand art-historical narratives.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask Ella Fontanals-Cisneros questions directly during a live Q&A.

Whether you are an artist curious about how collectors encounter photographic work, considering your first acquisition, an experienced collector, or a curator, educator, student, or arts professional, this session offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from an influential collector.

Presented by the WOPHA Institute as part of the online course Collecting Photography Beyond the Canon.

Open to everyone. This session can be purchased individually; enrollment in the full course is not required.

Galleria Fort Lauderdale presents The Poppy Project Pop-Up Living Garden in support of Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH) in collaboration with the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. This public art initiative is designed to honor veterans while raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services. Shoppers can take colorful photos and selfies to share online and connect with and donate to HBH’s virtual Legacy Wall which encourages friends and families to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving our country. The cherished photo opportunity with the larger-than-life artistic poppy flowers will run through November 10 at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.).

Designed by South Florida based Ingham Landscaping and presented by Galleria Fort Lauderdale, the two-month living garden will be a colorful and lively setting featuring the five-and 6-foot striking handcrafted fiberglass poppy flowers which are a remembrance of those who protect and serve our country. The inside mall garden will include a variety of tropical ornamental plants and shrubs that will complement the artistic poppy works of art.

Adding to the installation, will be “Soldier Stories,” an exclusive exhibition by award-winning artist Marilyn Johansen honoring veterans and the military. Visitors will also be encouraged to select free postcards and add a personal message to current servicemen and women. This special moment is arranged by the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. Special retail offers will coincide with this community project.

Inspired by the poppy’s historical significance as a symbol of sacrifice, rooted in the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” and later adopted as a national emblem of remembrance, HBH’s The Poppy Project brings this tradition to life in a local and meaningful way.

The effort is sponsored by key community partners and supporters including The Leo Goodwin Foundation, Arlene Pecora, the Henderson Behavioral Health Board of Directors, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee, Community Foundation of Broward, Disabled American Veterans-Gold Coast Chapter 133, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale.
