The Bass Dialogues: Building The Future of The Bass

A forward-looking conversation examines how contemporary museums can evolve to meet the needs of a changing city.

The Bass Dialogues: Building the Future of The Bass with Tom Healy and András Szántó takes place Thursday, December 4 at The Bass. Cultural strategist and museum advisor András Szántó joins poet and Bass trustee Tom Healy to discuss the museum’s next chapter, one shaped by major new investments from the City of Miami Beach and private supporters.

Together, they consider the future of contemporary art in civic life, the responsibilities of today’s cultural institutions, and how museums can become more inclusive and imaginative public spaces. The conversation also offers a preview of The Bass’ forthcoming expansion and the national search underway for its lead architectural firm.

Part of The Bass Dialogues, an ongoing series pairing artists, curators and cultural thinkers for public discussions on art and ideas.
