The University’s on-campus museum offers programming for students, faculty and staff members, and the larger community to fully engage in all the facilities it offers—free admission included.
Over the years, the Lowe Museum of Art on the Coral Gables Campus has provided access to amazing art in a place that was founded to serve faculty and staff members, students, scholars, researchers, and members of the local community.
Lowe’s is home to a diverse collection of more than 19,000 objects, which together embody more than 5,000 years of human creativity.
After being closed for more than a year due to the pandemic, Lowe’s reopened last year and will offer free admission until May 2023 – thanks to the generosity of the Beaux Arts. This semester, more programming is in the works to engage audiences. From on-site and virtual engagements with renowned artists from around the world to learning to sketch—no art experience necessary—the Lowe Art Museum has you covered.
“The Lowe provides its diverse audience with accessible engagement with contemporary culture,” said Nathalia Bolivar, communications specialist for the museum. “It’s a place for learning, gathering and a place for self-discovery.”
Through a variety of programs like USketch, an in-person sketching class aimed at de-stressing and enjoying creative time together, or The Art of Mindfulness, a virtual practice of guided awareness, Lowe has something for everyone to enjoy. Now through October 2, patrons can enjoy Beyond the Sounds of Silence, a multi-sensory exhibition featuring leading Latin American artists connecting sound, art and society. The exhibition focuses on the intersection of indigenous traditions with contemporary art and the relationship between form and language in musical instruments.
Bolivar recommends students take advantage of their membership benefits to enjoy exclusive lectures and special events – including Lowe After Hours, a signature event where attendees can enjoy refreshments, mingle and learn about all the Lowe galleries and exhibits after closing.
“We hope that after each visit, our audience will join us in celebrating the power of art to lift the human spirit,” said Bolivar. “The Lowe welcomes its audience to indulge in creativity.”
