- NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale PHOTOSHOOT- SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1:00 PMnsu museum of art Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
## Details
Join your fellow photographers and art enthusiasts for a special exhibition at the NSU Museum of Art. The work of photographer Joel Meyerowitz will be featured at the museum for this Challenge Event. Meyerowitz’s skill is evident in both the full, visceral descriptions of his color photographs, and the graphic and human subtleties of his black-and-white prints.
Located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, the NSU Museum of Art is considered a hub of the South Florida Art Coast, situated midway between Miami and Palm Beach. Its distinctive modernist building, which opened in 1986 was designed by the renowned architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. The 83,000 square-foot building contains 25,000 square feet of exhibition space, a 256-seat auditorium, Museum Store and Cafe. The museum is located in Fort Lauderdale’s active Arts and Entertainment District and is a short walk to the shops, restaurants and galleries of vibrant Las Olas Boulevard as well as to the picturesque Riverwalk waterfront promenade.
Besides the photography of Joel Meyerowitz, the museum will feature the work of painter Peter Halley, along with its celebrated permanent collection. The permanent collection contains more than 7,500 works of Latin American, contemporary art with an emphasis on women, Black and Latinx artists, and African art that spans the 19th to the 21st-century. Among its highlights is the country’s largest collection of 19th and early 20th century paintings and drawings by the American impressionist William Glackens, the most extensive holding in the U.S. of works by post-World War II, avant-garde CoBrA artists (acronym for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam) who resisted German occupation during World War II and emerged in the war’s wake.
