Experience Art in the Great Outdoors at Bonnet House Museum & Gardens!

đź“… Through April 27, 2025

Get ready for a whimsical journey through art and nature right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale! The stunning Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, a 35-acre subtropical treasure, is hosting a can’t-miss outdoor exhibition: FOREST FORMS by world-renowned artist Huelani Mei. Running daily from January 11 to April 27, 2025, this enchanting showcase celebrates the natural world through awe-inspiring sculptures.

 

🌟 What to Expect:
Stroll through the gardens alongside 18 larger-than-life metal sculptures that bring nature’s iconic residents to life. From a majestic fox family to an ethereal peacock, and even a playful snake archway, each piece is crafted in a captivating line-drawing style using powder-coated steel. Ranging from five feet to twenty feet tall, these sculptures combine artistry and imagination, making this exhibit perfect for family outings or solo explorations.

 

🎨 About the Artist:
Nature lover and artist Huelani Mei starts each masterpiece with a simple sketch, refining her vision through miniature models before creating the grand sculptures you’ll see on display. Her unique “line work” style captures the rhythm and movement of the natural world, reflecting the joy and peace she finds in her outdoor adventures.

 

This exhibition invites you to slow down, connect with nature, and experience a moment of wonder. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking for a magical day out, FOREST FORMS is the perfect blend of culture and creativity!

Creation Station At The Boca Raton Museum of Art
March 29th and 30th 12PM-4PM
 
Come join us for Creation Station.  Creation Station is our drop-in art making program which is for ALL AGES and is complementary with your paid admission to the Museum. For this weekend’s program, our art project is based on the artwork, Trompe L’oeil, 1667-1673 by Marcos Correa.  Trompe-l’Ĺ“il is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Trompe l’Ĺ“il, which is most often associated with painting, tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real.  Create your own collage art in Creation Station. It’s a delightful experience.
