About the organization
The Bass is a contemporary art museum located in Miami Beach, Florida. Founded in 1964 through the vision of John and Johanna Bass, the museum was established to house their private collection and to serve as a cultural resource for the community. Over the decades, The Bass has evolved into a dynamic institution dedicated to presenting contemporary art from around the world, with a particular emphasis on artists who engage with the pressing issues of our time. Its mission is to inspire and challenge audiences through exhibitions, educational programs, and public initiatives that foster a deeper understanding of contemporary art. The Bass maintains a forward-looking curatorial program that balances rigorous scholarship with accessibility. The museum has a strong commitment to education, offering a range of programs for teens, families, and adults. The Teen Art Exhibition is a signature initiative that provides young artists in Miami-Dade County with the opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional museum setting. This program reflects The Bass's dedication to nurturing emerging talent and engaging the next generation of artists and audiences.
