The first tour of the season begins at Design Miami with a continental champagne breakfast, VIP escorted tour & lecture.  The afternoon will be an exuberant experience as we tour the spectacular masterworks of Art Basel with our Museum Curator of Exhibitions and Audience Engagement, Kathy Goncharov.  Catered lunch and refreshments will be served.

Visit to the newly renovated and “re-framed” fine art & contemporary galleries with the founders Marvin and Howard Rosenbaum.  Highlights include the Marilyn Monroe/Andy Warhol exhibits and a video presentation of Robert Indiana’s Full Circle.  Catered lunch will be served in the gallery with introductory lectures by our hosts and exhibiting artists.  The excursion then moves on to the host’s residence to view his extraordinary collection of Picasso’s ceramics.

Marisa leads us on a Curator’s tour of private collections and visits to the newest Mark Borghi and Gavlak Galleries on fashionable Worth Avenue.  During lunch there will be an exciting presentation by fine art conservator James Swope.

The day begins with Evelyn Aimis Fine Art.  Ms. Aimis specializes as a private art dealer. Our host will personally lead us through her impeccable collection of contemporary & modern masterworks of art.  Following lunch in Bal Harbour, we will visit the Wilton Manors home and garden of an exuberant Renaissance art collector.  The collection features statuary of the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo periods along with a preeminent collection of early bronzes.  The residence is further enriched with antique period furnishings. Refreshments will be served in the garden.

Our day begins in West Boca Raton at the home of a seasoned passionate art collector currently engaged in collecting photography and who has great a personal story to share about his collecting experiences. Travelling eastward, the day concludes with tours of two exceptional private collections in the Sanctuary, one featuring contemporary fine art and the other extraordinary examples of Aboriginal art. Refreshments will be served poolside, overlooking the Intra-Coastal.

A beautiful day composed of The New World Symphony dress rehearsal and tour of the world renowned Frank Gehry designed theater; an architectural masterpiece.  A traditional luncheon of Cuban cuisine will be followed by a private and extraordinary tour of the Nader Gallery Special Exhibition.
