What makes The Bass unique, what sets us apart from other Museums? Quite simply put it is you. Our Members, our Supporters, our Family. For 60 years we have strived to cultivate an experience that reflects the ever changing landscape of Miami Beach and Contemporary Art. We are thrilled to present our signature event NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM; it is our way of celebrating our members. Scheduled for Thursday, April 25, this year holds special significance as we celebrate the museum’s 60th Anniversary under the vibrant theme “Psychedelia,” paying homage to the art movement that defined the 1960s, the decade of The Bass’ founding.

ABOUT THE BASS

The Bass is Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum. Focusing on exhibitions of international contemporary art, The Bass presents mid-career and established artists reflecting the spirit and international character of Miami Beach. The Bass seeks to expand the interpretation of contemporary art by incorporating disciplines of contemporary culture, such as design, fashion and architecture, into the exhibition program. The exhibition program encompasses a wide range of media and artistic points of view that bring new thought to the diverse cultural context of Miami Beach.

Central to the museum’s mission, The Bass maintains a vigorous education program for lifelong learning and visitors of all ages. The Bass IDEAS education initiative uses art as a catalyst for creativity and positive growth, especially in the area of early childhood education. The active school program led by the City of Miami Beach called STEAM+, takes The Bass IDEAS off-site by engaging children in Miami-Dade County Public Schools and integrating arts education into the curriculum.
