Sally: Okay so we are here at the MSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale on the corner of Colossus and as I mentioned I became a fan of this museum.
Sally: ...I became a fan of this museum because of the exhibits and the amazing artists they've featured. Volunteering here has been such a rewarding experience because we get to highlight different aspects of art to the visitors. It's not just about curating, it's about storytelling and helping people connect with the art.
One of the exhibits that stood out to me was when Fela was here. His use of math and geometry in his art is fascinating. The way he combines those elements into sculptures really resonates with visitors, especially those with an appreciation for both art and science.
Host: That sounds incredible. The intersection of different disciplines like that is really something special. What do you think about how the community interacts with these exhibits?
Sally: The community is very engaged, and it’s wonderful to see. There’s a real appreciation for the local art scene. People are eager to participate in events, and they take pride in the fact that Fort Lauderdale is growing as a hub for both local and international artists. There’s a lot of potential here, and it’s exciting to be a part of it.
Host: That’s great to hear. The arts have such a powerful way of bringing people together and making a place feel more connected. Speaking of which, you’ve been involved in some of the big local events, like Art for Bar Dale and other projects. Can you talk about your experience with those?
Sally: Yes, absolutely. Art for Bar Dale was an amazing experience. I hadn’t been to many art fairs in the Nordic region before, but the diversity of the artists and the quality of the work were just incredible. There were artists from Canada, Italy, and Paris, and the whole event felt so vibrant and alive.
Host: It sounds like it really left an impression on you. That’s the kind of energy we want to bring to the community, and it’s great to hear that you felt that. How did you feel about the accessibility of the event for both artists and attendees?
Sally: I think it was very well done in terms of accessibility. The fact that you could walk up to artists and have real conversations with them was something special. At some of the bigger fairs, you don’t always get that level of interaction. Here, you could engage with artists directly, ask them questions about their work, and really get a sense of their process.
Host: That’s fantastic. It’s something we really value—creating that direct connection between the community and the artists. It’s not just about looking at the art, it’s about understanding it and being part of that creative dialogue. What do you think this kind of openness and accessibility does for local artists?
Sally: I think it’s invaluable. Local emerging artists have the chance to showcase their work and network with established artists and collectors in a way that they might not have otherwise. It helps build a sense of community among the artists and creates opportunities for collaboration and growth. It also allows them to stay here in Fort Lauderdale and thrive, instead of feeling like they need to go to bigger cities to succeed.
Host: Exactly, that’s such an important point. We want Fort Lauderdale to be a place where artists can live and work full-time without having to leave for other markets. This is how we build a thriving local arts scene. So, tell us about some of the upcoming events or exhibits we should look out for.
Sally: Well, we have the Art Walk coming up, which is always a big event. It’s held on the last Saturday of every month, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together and experience local art. There are live installations, music, and plenty of chances to meet the artists. I also encourage people to check out the ongoing exhibits at the MSU Art Museum, especially if you haven’t been here before. There’s so much to see and experience.
Host: That sounds amazing. We definitely encourage everyone to check that out. Well, Sally, I want to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us today and for all the great work you’re doing to support the local arts community.
Sally: Thank you! It’s been a pleasure to be part of this conversation. I’m really excited about what the future holds for Fort Lauderdale’s art scene.
Host: And there you have it, folks! Make sure to get out and support your local artists and arts events. There’s so much happening in Fort Lauderdale, and you won’t want to miss it. Thanks for tuning in, and we’ll see you next time!
