History Fort Lauderdale’s Black History Month programming will kick off with the unveiling of “Black Art, Black Artists Shaping Tomorrow’s History,” on view February 4–29.
The annual homage will feature works for show and sale from Dillard Center for the Arts’ Advanced Placement students and instructors. Curated by Dillard instructor Celestin Joseph, the exhibit of photography and studio art features creative re-imaginings and reflections of historical Black leaders, community icons, and hometown heroes.
