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

Winner of the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical. A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway ensemble audition. Exploring the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional Broadway performers, the show features one powerhouse number after another. Memorable musical numbers include “What I Did for Love, “One,” “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet,” “The Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama, A Chorus Line was instantly recognized as a classic.
