“Future Past Perfect” presents seven concurrent exhibitions of emerging South Florida artists who have already established a consistent body of work that has garnered attention. For each of these artists, this is their first solo museum exhibition. Experienced collectively, these solo exhibitions demonstrate how these artists confronted their fears of the unknown while grappling with the tragic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and explored themes such as politics, migration, global warming, and social justice in their work. Their distinct artistic practices were honed and influenced by the isolation experienced during this period, resulting in exponential growth, maturity, and mastery of their work. 

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unforeseen challenges to the artistic community, derailing the career trajectories of many emerging artists. Those who were art students during the pandemic navigated the intimidating task of building an art practice in isolation and through remote learning, while museums and galleries remained shuttered for extended periods of time. Forced to rely on the internet as their primary platform for sharing their work with the public, these artists experienced limited personal contact with fellow artists and professionals. However, the unparalleled opportunity for uninterrupted studio time allowed them to delve deeper into their creative process. Their artistic journeys are now ready to be shared with a wider audience, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the remarkable creations born from this concentrated period of studio introspection. “Future Past Perfect” showcases the vibrant diversity of South Florida’s communities and captures a regional renaissance that is bursting with talent that has yet to receive widespread recognition. 

The exhibitions featured in “Future Past Perfect” were curated by Director and Chief Curator Bonnie Clearwater and the Museum’s Bryant-Taylor Curator Ariella Wolens.

Opening Event Details:

  • Saturday, July 29, 2023
  • 6 – 8 p.m.
  • Drinks and light bites provided
  • Free for members; $20 for non-members
