Fort Lauderdale Art & Design Week will return January 22-30, to shine a spotlight on Broward County’s boundless cultural opportunities for residents, collectors, dealers, art enthusiasts, and visitors. The event has also become a platform for research and promotion of the arts, its relationship to the community, and discussions over contemporary art trends in the areas of the arts, architecture, cinema, dance, music, and theater.
The week will celebrate diversity, bring neighbors into dialogue, increase creativity, and offer opportunities to cultivate civic pride throughout the county and its burgeoning art scene. Since its inception, Fort Lauderdale Art & Design Week has been a breeding ground for discovery, finding synergies and exchanging ideas, with select aligned programming, including museum exhibitions, artist studio tours, gallery openings, virtual programs, an “artDISCOURSE Series,” architectural walks, roundtables, professional encounters, and more.

“Building this Art & Design Week over the last couple years has been a labor of love for both myself and Evan and having the Broward Cultural Division’s ‘Ignite’ Broward take place during the Week is an incredible and exciting addition to the platform that we have created,” said Martineau. “Furthermore, the Broward Cultural Division has come on as presenting sponsor of the week which has been a huge help in this monumental task of promoting the arts during this concentrated week.”
