Location: NSU Art Museum, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

We partnered with Yale School of Art and The Yale Club of South Florida for a special event at NSU Art Museum exclusively for Yale alumni. The exhibition’s Yale alumni artists, Yale School of Art Dean Kimberly Pinder and club members met for a cocktail reception, exhibition viewing and a talk with the exhibition “Lux et Veritas” led by Director & Chief Curator Bonnie Clearwater.

The exhibition Lux et Veritas explores a transformative period in contemporary art by focusing on a generation of artists of color who attended Yale School of Art for graduate studies between 2000 and 2010. The exhibition’s title alludes to Yale University’s motto, Lux et Veritas, which translates from Latin to “Light and Truth.” In the context of this exhibition, the title references how these artists thought with critical complexity about their work and their movement through institutional structures.
