Rubell Museum

The Rubell Museum is one of the nation’s most influential contemporary art institutions, with landmark locations in Miami and Washington, D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront.

Founded by Don and Mera Rubell, who began collecting art in the 1960s while living in New York, the museum evolved from a modest personal passion into one of the world’s most significant private collections. Guided by a belief that art should inspire dialogue and connection, the Rubells have built a space that champions bold, boundary-pushing artists and fosters cultural exchange, making it a fitting setting for the GOOD Holiday Ball’s celebration of creativity and community.
