Bass Museum of Art Reveals Planned Expansion of Educational Facilities and Exhibition Space Celebrating 50th Anniversary

The Bass Museum of Art has announced plans for a new wing dedicated to educational facilities and exhibition space after receiving a $7.5 million grant from the City of Miami Beach, which recognizes the museum’s contributions to the City's artistic and cultural landscape. These planned additions to the museum will coincide with the museum’s 50th anniversary in 2014.

The Bass Museum of Art’s Expansion Plan calls for two additional classrooms to be built adjacent to the existing Lindemann Family Creativity Center. Each of these three spaces can accommodate at minimum 25 students, with one larger space that can accommodate 40 art students or 75 people sitting in rows for a lecture, film screening or performance art. With its own entrance, separate from the rest of the museum, the space will be open and accessible after regular museum hours and in the evenings.
