Last night we went to see a play at ArtServe. That was our first time. First of all they have lots of free parking, which makes the logistics very easy and worry free. ArtServe is a multi-purpose facility that offers a shared office environment and venue at affordable costs to more than 350 nonprofit cultural organizations and 10,000 artists living and working in Broward County. ArtServe encourages the growth of cultural organizations with educational and marketing programs including The Art of Doing Business workshop series, and the Broward County Commission's Cultural Division's Cooperative Marketing Program. We went to see a production by the Lesbian Thespians which is a member of the South Florida Theater league. Other visitors have enjoyed art gallery exhibits, reading workshops, virtual programming, etc.... A great place for non profits to have a stage to the world. read more

I've driven by ArtServe on east Sunrise Blvd many times so finally I stopped. The building houses ArtServe, the Broward County Library and the World Aids Museum. There is plenty of parking in adjacent surface lot. The art gallery it self only requires an hour or less to see everything. They have performance based classes, special events and workshops. While I was there 4 ladies were participating in a turn off painting class. Hours are Monday - Friday 9-6 and Saturday 10-6 read more

So happy to be back here! I've not been here since before Covid started. Art Serve is an open space for different artists to display their work. They do have some smaller separate rooms as well. The art is for sale so bring your credit card. Tonight was an art exhibit with a mix of different artists. read more

Just visited ArtServe for the first time last Friday night for an awards ceremony. The Veterans exhibit was very interesting and worth looking at. Unusual for modern art, it was easily comprehended with near-universal appeal. Many museums these days are filled with either very old art that is fascinating or new stuff that is self-referential, hard to understand and very negative. Lots of agendas beyond learning. Other nice features: plenty of free parking and a facility with big windows allowing lots of natural light - plus a good sized auditorium. Great place for parties, receptions and conferences with an added air of culture. Also within short driving distance of Fort Lauderdale's many hotels and restaurants. read more

ArtServe is located in the library on Sunrise Blvd. Also located in this building is the Stonewall Museum and National Archives. Art Serve provides programs, resources, facilities and training for the arts community. The gallery and gift shop features the work of South Florida artists. A list of classes and events can be found on the ArtServe website. The current exhibit is DBA 219: Textured which features the work of 14 artists who are graduates of the Artist as an Entrepreneurs Institute. Admission to ArtServe is free. I wholeheartedly endorse any organization that supports the arts. One thing to keep in mind is that this building is at the edge of a park that has a large number of homeless people in it. They do wander over to the parking lot and if you want to use the bathroom at ArtServe you have to ask the library for a key. Memberships are available for people who want to support ArtServe. read more

I attended the Latinos Salud Hispanic Heritage Food Bazaar 2019 at Artserve on Sunrise Blvd. Colorfully dressed men and women were everywhere serving fabulous foods from various Latin American countries. There was an open bar. Drag shows and other singing performances were featured. It was a terrific time for everyone. The crowd and vendors were all very friendly and festive. A doctor spoke about how South Florida is number one in the country for new HIV-AIDS cases. Various handouts and informational material were presented. It was an educational as well as a party atmosphere. My wife, Diane and I had a great evening meeting new friends and enjoying the spectacular food! Awards were given out to the vendors for the best food! It was a wonderful event! read more

ArtServe is a very special place in Fort Lauderdale, located inside of the public library. It's a wonderful space that serves the community. There's shows, exhibits, classes and much more. Clyde and I recently went to the Latinos Salud Hispanic Heritage Food Bazaar that was held there. There was tables laden with food representing various countries. There was an open bar and a great show. It did get very crowded and there was only a few tables and chairs. In spite of that I had a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to going again next year. To me this is an example of the community taking advantage of this wonderful space. read more

ArtServe - Art Galleries Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

If you're like me and have a certain unquenchable thirst for art, especially works of local artists, ArtServe, Inc. is must see. Located within the Sunrise Boulevard branch library it epitomizes the best of what are local cultural art developments. Though small and not taking all that much time to view, it has an excellent setup of displays with lighting perfect for viewing its works. The displays vary and it also has a small store offering items of art for sale with the thought of encouraging and assisting artists in turning their art talents into a profitable business. I might also add that the staff or volunteers who work here are some of the most pleasant and helpful people to be found anywhere. Though on first blush one might not think it to be all that much of a place it really is by comparison to the many other such local art cultural or local NEA supported centers I've seen. Hence, using such as my basis of comparison I'm going Five Stars on it. read more
