Explore bold contemporary art and LGBTQ+ events at The Bass, Miami’s premier queer-friendly museum in the heart of South Beach.
Nestled in the heart of South Beach, The Bass is a cornerstone of the Miami contemporary art scene and an essential stop on any traveler’s gay map. Housed in a stunning 1930s Art Deco building within Collins Park, this museum offers a sophisticated, queer-friendly sanctuary where cutting-edge contemporary art meets the worlds of fashion and design. What truly makes The Bass stand out for the LGBTQ+ community is its inclusive and provocative programming. The museum frequently hosts 'Third Thursdays' takeovers featuring queer artists and performers, such as the Masisi collective, which celebrate Black Queer joy and Caribbean creativity. During the annual Pride Month and Juneteenth celebrations, the galleries often transform into vibrant spaces for DJ sets, film screenings, and high-energy activations. Beyond the gallery walls, the 'Art Outside' program brings large-scale sculptures to the surrounding park, offering a perfect cultural detour before heading to the nearby 12th Street gay beach. For gay men and queer travelers seeking a dose of inspiration in Miami, The Bass provides a welcoming environment that reflects the diverse, boundary-pushing spirit of the city.
