FY2024 was a big one for Broward Arts! 👀👏

It was filled with growth, creativity, and connection—and it’s all captured in our Annual Report! 📘

We celebrated record investments in our cultural sector, unforgettable performances that packed our theaters, new public art projects that brightened our streets, and events that brought thousands together to experience creativity. ✨

These highlights are more than numbers. They represent artists who had the resources to bring their visions to life, organizations that expanded their reach, jobs that strengthened our local economy, and millions of people who felt the joy and inspiration of the arts.

Take a look through the full Annual Report at the link in our bio to see how far we’ve come—and what’s ahead! #BrowardArts

It’s here and it’s impossible to miss. 🎉🎨

The stunning new Everglades-inspired mural by @mutavision is complete and lighting up Broward Boulevard with bold color and local pride.

Standing nearly five stories tall, the artist created this piece based on community feedback and we commissioned it in partnership with @ddaftl and @twenty6northproductions. It reflects the vision and values of all of Broward County and is already transforming the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. 🎨🌅👏

Above: Artist MUTA Vision, Broward County Mayor Beam Furr and yours truly, Cultural Division staff 😊. Next time you’re downtown, look up. 👀 #BrowardArts
